Electronic Arts announced a few days ago to be exploring a rename for its most successful saga.
The possibility of seeing a rebrand for the FIFA series takes more and more shape. According to a series of records ordered by Electronic arts, the company would be shuffling EA Sports FC as a new name for your sports simulator.
FIFA 15 had a mobile app called EA Sports Football ClubAs VGC – Video Games Chronicle has discovered, the American multinational took over the rights of this brand at the beginning of the month both in the Intellectual Property Office of the European Union as in the equivalent body in the United Kingdom, demonstrating with facts the statements of Cam Weber, CEO of EA Sports.
“We are exploring the idea of renaming our EA Sports soccer titles. We found ourselves reviewing the rights agreement we have with FIFA, which remains independent from the rest of the sponsorships and licenses that we have around the world of football, “said the manager just a week ago.
EA Sports FC does not have to be the new name of the FIFA saga and it could be another action of a totally different scope or direction, so this information should be taken with caution. In fact, the simulator already had a few years ago with an app on iOS and Android mobiles called EA Sports Football Club linked to the video game for PC and consoles that could now be on the mend.
However, it is one more indication of Electronic Arts’ interest in researching new brands for one of the most profitable franchises in the sector, something that in fact Konami has already launched this year with eFootball, saying goodbye to Pro Evolution Soccer.
