FC 24 features a lot of high-ranked goalkeepers

Electronic Arts is one of several companies that decided to skip June's major gaming announcement events, confirming it wouldn't be holding an EA Play event this year. Instead, Electronic Arts says that it would announce its upcoming game releases for 2022 "when they're ready." June may not have fit its schedule, but it's looking like July will be a much better fit. EA is reportedly planning to individually announce three major game releases in July, including its upcoming FC 24 Coins , Need for Speed, and Skate titles.

According to insider source Tom Henderson, all three games are tentatively planned to be announced in July. As noted, there is no single event planned where the games will be shown, but rather will come in the form of individual announcements. Specific dates for each announcement aren't provided in the report. However, Henderson does say that he's been told that the FIFA and Need for Speed announcements will come in the second half of July.

FC 24 is a game that most fans of the franchise will already be familiar with, and an announcement is more than expected. Several important details about the game have already been confirmed by EA. For example, FC 24 will include both men's and women's leagues, including both gender's World Cup tournaments. EA has also previously said that FC 24 will feature full crossplay, a feature it tested in FC 24. Perhaps most importantly, this is the last EA soccer game to feature the FIFA branding. It will be known as EA Sports FC in 2023 and beyond.

Skate is another game that has previously been officially confirmed by EA. The next Skate was confirmed during the June 2020 online EA Play presentation, though at the time it was confirmed to be very early in development. Commonly referred to as Skate 4. even if an official title hasn't been announced, the new game will be the first Skate game released since 2022.

The new Need for Speed will be the most intriguing announcement of the three. Codemasters, recently acquired by EA, confirmed it was working on a new Need for Speed with buy Fut Coins Criterion earlier this year. It's also rumored to be a next-gen exclusive racing game. Otherwise, there are a lot of questions around the new Need for Speed, like whether it will really have "anime elements" or if that's just an odd rumor.
