EA Sports FIFA 23 headlines this week’s lineup of new video games for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. Sort of.
Electronic Arts says that FIFA 23 will see the series bow out with a high with a host of new features and modes. This year’s buzzword is Hypermotion2, which adds over 6,000 new animations. The result, hopefully, is improved shooting, passing, sprinting, and dribbling.
Elsewhere, the addition of women’s club football with the Barclays FA Women’s Super League and Division 1 Arkema is most welcome. But we’re not quite as thrilled by the inclusion of Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond.
As ever, Nintendo Switch owners will have to make do with a Legacy Edition update that refreshes rosters, kits and very little else. Maybe that will change next year when the franchise breaks free of its FIFA branding to become EA Football Club.
This week’s other new releases include The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, Hokko Life, and Blade Assault. Andrew Shouldice’s masterful action-adventure game Tunic also comes to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch following a period of Xbox console exclusivity.
