Following the success of its football title FIFA 20, Electronic Arts has decided to release a sequel due later this year, called FIFA 21.
Once again based around the sport of football, and featuring licensed players, teams, leagues and stadiums, it will allow users to recreate the sport in both solo and, more commonly, in multiplayer modes.
