FIFA 25 is said to be celebrating its release as early as autumn 2024 - but it is not coming from EA. After the games company has awarded the naming rights, 2K is now to take over, according to a rumor. However, it will not be that easy for the experts in the sports games sector.

This is the rumor:
- For several months now, there has been talk of whether 2K will develop the next FIFA. According to video game retailer MohPlay Inc, the studio has secured the license for the new FIFA 25 (via X).
- EA, who have previously made FIFA, gave up the license in 2022.
- The new competitor, 2K, already has a strong foothold in sports games and is known for the NBA series and WWE wrestling - but not always with great praise.
When is the release?
According to MohPlay Inc's statement, FIFA 25 will be released in 2024, but probably under the name FIFA 2K25, which is familiar for 2K. A concrete release date and confirmation are pending.
EA released its FIFA and Sports FC games in the fall. Accordingly, autumn 2024 would also be about the period in which a FIFA 2K25 would be expected.
After EA made the last official FIFA game with FIFA 23, the next part would finally be within reach with FIFA 2K25. However, there are a few catches for the new developer.
FIFA 2K25 as a competitor to EA FC – With hurdles
Although EA no longer holds the naming rights to FIFA and the game is no longer allowed to be called that, the company still holds heaps of naming rights, including:
- over 19,000 players
- over 700 teams
- over 100 stadiums
- and 30 leagues
Among them are some exclusive partnerships, for example with the Bundesliga or the popular La Liga. EA Sports FC is no longer called FIFA, but at least it can continue to use all official names. How things will go with 2K is still uncertain.
Already with the separation from EA, FIFA boss Gianni Infantino promised in 2022:
I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that bears the name FIFA will be the best available for gamers and football fans. The name FIFA is the only global, original title.
With FIFA 2K25, 2K would be FIFA's new big competitor for the market for football games for PC, PS5 and Xbox. The biggest competitor in the genre to date, Pro Evolution Soccer, completely changed the games shortly before the end of EA's FIFA era
