The sights and sounds of FIFA 21 are reimagined for next
generation consoles, with the brand new EA SPORTS GameCam inspired
by the look and feel of top-level football broadcasts and LiveLight
Rendering, a deferred lighting system that enhances every aspect of
the on-pitch experience. Thousands of authentic chants captured
exclusively from the world’s biggest competitions, including the
Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga, deliver the ultimate EA
SPORTS Atmospheric Audio experience, unparalleled in sports video
games.
Next-gen technology powered by Frostbite delivers an
unprecedented level of player fidelity. Fans can enjoy deeper
definition in player physiques, including flexing muscles after
strikes and strand-based hair on some of the top footballers,
combined with dynamic lighting that accentuates footballers’ faces
and kits for a whole new level of realism. New pre-game cinematics
such as team buses arriving prior to kick-off and the buzz of fans
entering through the turnstiles have been added to further immerse
fans in the total matchday experience. During live games, new
contextual player, bench, and fan reactions respond to key match
situations, allowing players to feel the explosive passion and
intense drama of big goal moments like last-minute winners or
relegation-saving equalizers.
“We’re excited to deliver a new level of authenticity that will
immerse players in the game like never before when they step out
onto the virtual pitch in FIFA 21,” said Aaron McHardy, Executive
Producer, EA SPORTS FIFA. “With next level immersive experiences
that truly bring the most recognizable stadiums and professional
players to life, the technology behind these next generation
consoles opens up a world of possibilities for how players will
experience the world’s game this year and into the future.”
New technology enables players to experience more authentic
movement with enhanced length and visual quality of player
animations, providing ultra-responsive and realistic maneuvers in
every situation on the pitch. Off-ball humanization creates
authentic character behaviours that enable fans to feel all the
emotion of football at the highest level, from a player adjusting
shin pads in the 89th minute to one screaming for a through ball
from a teammate. Frostbite’s advanced interaction system brings the
Real Player Motion Technology system to life as players jostle,
push, and pull in battles for possession with more responsiveness
than ever before.
Players will have their first opportunity to experience the
future of FIFA gameplay with blazing fast load times that allow
them to get in the game quicker than ever before. From Kick-Off to
Career Mode, players will never lose focus on the upcoming match as
stadium environments will load with unprecedented speed, letting
them get to the start of the match in seconds.
In addition, for those with PlayStation®5 consoles, PlayStation
Activities gets players into the action even faster by letting them
jump straight from the PlayStation home screen into their favorite
game modes. Rich and responsive haptic technology through the new
PS5™ DualSense™ controller allows players to sense the impact of
shots, passes, and tackles and feel the rhythm of the game in their
hands.
Players who buy, or who have already bought, FIFA 21 for
PlayStation®4 and/or Xbox® One can get the PlayStation®5 and/or
Xbox® Series X|S version of the game for free* from December 4.
Players can also take their FUT Club and VOLTA FOOTBALL squad to
the next generation and back again with cross-gen transfer markets
in FUT 21, as well as all their FUT and VOLTA FOOTBALL content and
progress*. For players who only want to play on next generation
consoles, there is an option to buy standalone editions of FIFA 21
on the Xbox® Series X|S and PlayStation®5 for $69.99 USD.
FIFA 21 is developed by EA Vancouver and EA Romania and
available now on PlayStation®4, Xbox One®, PC via Origin™ and
Steam, and will land on Stadia - Google’s cloud-based gaming
platform - next year. FIFA 21 will launch on PlayStation®5 and
