Nexon, a Korean publisher, expects that the end of the long-term cooperative relationship between EA and FIFA will not affect the operation of FIFA online 4. This is a free PC game mainly for the Asian market and the mobile game of the same name released in 2018. They are a branch of EA "FIFA" series.
A Nexon spokesman said that the team expected that the game would not actually change. Nexon reached an agreement with EA, so all athletes, sports venues and other functions will remain in the game.
Last week, EA confirmed that it will no longer be its football Instead of renewing the license of FIFA brand, the game series will be renamed EA Sports FC, and its partnership with FIFA will end later this year after the release of FIFA 23. The news was released a few days before Nexon announced its financial results for the first quarter of this year. The report showed that the revenue of FIFA online 4 and FIFA online 4 mobile games reached the best in history in the fiscal year. And Nexon expects these two games to grow further in the next quarter, and PC games will show "significant growth".
Earlier, it was reported that EA Austin studio would lay off as many as 100 people, many of which were related to the on-site operation of FIFA 22 and the company's customer service department. However, a spokesman said that these had nothing to do with the announcement of EA Sports FC and were not intended to reduce labor costs.
