In a blog posted ostensibly to trumpet the “record-breaking launch” of FIFA 22, EA also mentioned it was currently “exploring the idea of renaming” the franchise.
Future FIFA games may give up the rights to use the FIFA name, EA has said.
There’s no reasoning given for why EA may in future drop the FIFA name rights, which it pays big money to license.
The biggest question though, of course, is what EA will rename FIFA to.
