UPDATE: Physical release for FIFA World Cup game on PS3 and Xbox 360

MCV Staff 6th February 2014 Business News

EA has at last announced EA Sports 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

However, the surprise is that the game is getting a physical release and is only scheduled for PS3 and Xbox 360.

In June last year EA Sports boss Andrew Wilson described its digital-only Euro 2012 expansion for FIFA 12 as "a little ahead of its time quite frankly” adding that "we didn’t get the take up that we thought we would at that moment in time, although things picked up later when we lowered the price. We may have got the value proposition a little off.”

This release will offer improvements over the FIFA 14 build including 100 new animations and a new World Class Control feature. 203 national teams are featured with 7,469 players, 19 officially licensed managers and 12 authentic Brazilian stadiums.

UPDATE: EA has offered the following statement regarding the lack of next-gen release.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
