The American publisher's goose still has a bright future ahead of it. In fact, the franchise FIFA will continue its expansion on different media in the coming months... Starting with the arrival of the 2021 edition on Stadia in a few weeks.
In a long press release published on its site, Electronic Arts returned to the success of its franchise and more specifically to the latest opus to date, FIFA 21. Even if it is already available on most media, the game will land on 17 next March on Google's cloud gaming service. However, EA will not be content to bet only on the main titles of the license.
