Take Two: after NBA 2K, the hot editor to develop FIFA 2K? Boss Strauss Zelnick's response

A week ago, Electronic Arts formalized its divorce from FIFA, thus ending a collaboration of almost thirty years. In the press release, the American publisher specified that its football simulation would now be called EA SPORTS FC, and that in terms of content, it was important not to panic fans since the game would bring “the strength of over 300 individual licensed partners, giving players access to over 19,000 athletes in 700 teams, 100 stadiums and over 30 leagues around the world.“

On his side, FIFA has been ambitious about the brand’s video game future. “I can assure you that the only genuine and real game that bears the FIFA name will be the best available for gamers and football fans.explained boss Gianni Infantino. The name FIFA is the only global and original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25 and FIFA 26, and so on – the constant is the name FIFA and it will forever remain and remain THE BEST.“The world football body has also pointed out that games belonging to genres other than that of simulation are in development and that they will be released during the third quarter of 2022.

At the pinnacle of virtual basketball for ages with its NBA 2K series, has Take Two Interactive been in touch with FIFA for a possible FIFA 2K? The question was posed to the publisher’s boss, Strauss Zelnick. “We are very interested in expanding our sports opportunitieshe told our colleagues atIGN. FIFA is a big brand and carries incredible weight, but at this time no discussion of this topic is planned.“Afterwards, if that were the case, we imagine that he would not say it either.

Anyway, many observers have wondered at least once what could give a football simulation developed by Visual Concepts when we see the incredible quality of NBA 2K. And this time, the balance of power would be reversed since Take Two Interactive would clearly act as a challenger in the field of Electronic Arts which, in addition, benefits from the support of an incalculable number of partners. We are not there yet, however.
