Those of you with long memories will no doubt recall that, once upon a time, EA never missed a trick when it came to milking the lucrative FIFA licence. 

As well as the yearly FIFA updates we’d also get special editions, such as FIFA: Road to World Cup ’98 (which took the place of the yearly entry for 1997) which was then followed by World Cup ’98 a year later, along with FIFA 99. 

We’ve since seen official World Cup video games from EA for the 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 competitions, too – but this year, there’s no official game on the way. Instead, EA is generously updating the current FIFA 18 game to include World Cup 2018 content.  

The update will be free to download and arrives on May 29th. Excited much?
