Outstrike your opponent in fast and addictive soccer matches

Instead of FIFA’s earlier collaboration with EA, such as FC Mobile (formerly known as FIFA Mobile), FIFA Rivals presents a unique perspective on the game, delivering an engaging arcade-style, fast-paced experience. As a player, you will have the opportunity to design your own club and emblem from scratch.

In summary, FIFA Rivals’ gameplay shares similarities with Score Hero and Top Goal, offering rapid, intense matches where your strategic choices significantly impact the match outcome. Showcase your soccer prowess by skillfully dribbling, passing, and shooting, aiming to reach the top of the leaderboard.

Furthermore, consider activating the “Turbo” setting on your character, boosting their abilities and improving their in-game performance. The more victories you secure, the more advanced players you can acquire through winning matches. This way, you’ll have the opportunity to develop these talents and adapt them to strategies that align with your preferred playstyle.

Take part in the official FIFA Club World Cup events happening this month

Featuring both FIFA and FIFPRO licenses, you’ll have the opportunity to control and play with genuine football players who resemble their actual selves, complete with authentic celebrations. Moreover, real-world soccer competitions taking place worldwide will be incorporated into the game, starting with the FIFA Club World Cup in June.

FIFA Rivals, being an arcade-style top-down game, boasts colorful and animated graphics that deviate from EA’s more realistic visuals. As stated by AndrĂŠs HernĂĄndez, the 3D artist at Bacon Games, “The aim isn’t to achieve realism but instead, a form of character abstraction.

If you’re an Android user, you can now pre-register for FIFA Rivals on your Google Play Store. For iOS users, pre-registrations will start soon, as FIFA Rivals plans a global launch this month. Players who are interested can also sign up on the game’s official website to stay informed.
