EA Sports has unveiled the FIFA 21 cover star. As you might expect, French prodigy Kylian Mbappé has the honor of gracing the packaging of the next installment in the series. We introduce you to the covers of all three versions. There will also be a first FIFA 21 trailer this afternoon.
The search for the FIFA 21 cover star is over. After the first screenshots, however, the revelation of Kylian Mbappé was only a matter of form. The (fittingly) 21-year-old Frenchman follows Eden Hazard, Virgil van Dijk and icon Zinedine Zidane to grace the covers of FIFA 20. The three FIFA 21 versions are always chic.
Update: FIFA 21 reveal trailer is here
Punctually at 5:00 p.m. the time has come. EA Sports releases the first trailer for FIFA 21.
The video doesn’t really show much that is new. In addition to Kylian Mbappé , the stars of the video are the Portuguese Joao Felix , Erling Haaland in the new BVB jersey and Trent Alexander-Arnold .
There is also talk of FUT Koop – FIFA 21 Ultimate Team can finally be played cooperatively.
In FUT co-op you can play together with a friend and compete for bonuses. Play together in Division Rivals and Squad Battles to earn weekly progress, and embark on new co-op goals that reward playing together in more than just victories on the pitch.
Create a truly unique FUT Club with a variety of new and advanced customization methods, customizing your team’s look on the pitch and in the stands.
The trailer also briefly features Eric Cantona – in the FUT Icon jersey. So the first new icon for FUT 21 is confirmed.
FIFA 21 Cover: The versions at a glance

The Frenchman is enthusiastic about this, as he reveals to EA Sports :
“Being on the cover of FIFA is a dream come true. I’ve been playing FIFA since I was a kid and it’s an honor to represent the new generation of football and now join all the other amazing players who have been on the cover were.”

FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
