EA Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson has revealed that the game-publisher may bring an end to annual releases of their hottest sports titles, FIFA.

The company is not planning to end production of the game series but rather wants to move towards subscription-based content and online updates - making the yearly trip to your local supermarket, or Amazon a thing of the past.

For FIFA, this would work in the mould of squad updates following a hefty transfer window and the ability to kick around in the latest kits.

"There's a world where it gets easier and easier to move that code around, where we may not have to do an annual release" said Wilson, speaking to Bloomberg. "We can really think about those games as a 365-day, live service."

Hmmmmm....

This smells like troubbbbleeee

Makes sense,as long as the updates file size aren't too big,I'm down

Makes absolute sense....Squad, kits et al update all in one tap

Far more better! Good news really. I have fifa 16 and 17 useless cos I don't play them anymore...

Gta 5 was released over 5years ago and it's still high grossing

I had to uninstall my FIFA 17 (that I bought from Origin) because I wasn't getting people to play with online there. Got FIFA 18 tho... But the announcement of FIFA 19 gives me chills... Someone will have to throw away this 18 as usual. Welcome development

It ends up being the same or more expensive for consumers, the updates and dlc wont ve free, they've been giving us same game year in year out, only small gameplay adjustment and paid adverts/reviews and they charge another $60

It's good news, I love it
