FIFA 14 is set to be revealed tomorrow, and EA Sports has put out a teaser image on Twitter. Last week, it was rumored the game would be revealed soon, and it appears now that rumor is true. It’s assumed FIFA 14 will hit sometime around September, as previous entries have. Whether it will be released solely on current-gen or a combination with next-gen is unknown at present. Stay tuned.

FIFA 14 reveal happening this week – rumour

20130408_fifa_13

A report out of Spain claims EA Sports will show FIFA 14 to the press this week at an event in Madrid, with an embargo on details lifting on April 17. Assuming FIFA 14 releases sometime around September, as previous entires have, the timing seems plausible, so expect new details soon. All we’ve heard about the new entry to date is that it is “huge”, and will emphasise social features alongside traditional single-player modes; we’re not even sure if it’ll be current or next-gen.

Thanks, Lengendaryboss.
