The last-ever EA Sports produced FIFA game is set to drop later this year, and Kylian Mbappe and Sam Kerr have been unveiled as its cover stars. The pair will be featured on the title’s Ultimate Edition Global cover, marking the first global cover featuring a female player.
Earlier this year it was announced that FIFA, the iconic gaming franchise, would no longer be produced by EA Sports after the coming edition. And so it is something of a bittersweet moment to learn that Kylian Mbappé will once again adorn the front cover of a FIFA title, making it three years in a row, and this time he’ll be joined by Chelsea forward Sam Kerr for FIFA 23. Additionally, Mbappé will feature on the title’s Standard Edition, while Kerr will be featured on the Standard Edition in Australia and New Zealand, and as a worldwide Amazon exclusive.
“Both Kylian and Sam are generational talents, and having them grace the covers of the final FIFA is a monumental moment not only for the franchise, but for EA SPORTS as a whole,” said David Jackson, VP Brand, EA SPORTS FC. “FIFA 23 is our most innovative and feature packed title ever and we’re energised to have two of football’s greatest players share their love of the game with fans around the world.”
FIFA 23 has been promised to be the most innovative and connected edition of the franchise yet, and the reveal trailer is set to drop on 20 July, 2022 at 9AM PT/12PM ET/5pm BST, and learn more about the most innovative and connected edition of the franchise yet.
