FIFA have always released a World Cup game in a tournament year, but fans will be thrilled to learn this one is free.. and it launches on MAY 29.
No time has yet been announced but it is thought it will be available to download at around 6pm.
A statement released by EA last month read: “With only 48 days until the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, EA SPORTS has today announced that it will be bringing a World Cup add-on to FIFA 18.
“The update will be FREE for FIFA 18 owners on Playstation 4 and Xbox One from May 29th.
“The game will include the official 2018 FIFA World Cup, FIFA World Cup Kick-off, Custom FIFA World Cup Tournament and FIFA World Cup Ultimate Team.”
The free add-on includes official World Cup tournament mode and FUT mode
Play for Cristiano Ronaldo as Portugal in the official game of the Russia tournament – or any of the other 31 nations participating
The tournament edition for the video game will come in the form of a downloadable add-on rather than separate game – which has been seen in recent years.
It won’t be the first time FIFA have released a World Cup edition, having first done so in 1998 – releasing a new edition every four years.
