EA Sports has officially announced and revealed FIFA 22 and it will feature next-gen HyperMotion technology that will allow the game to deliver the most realistic and immersive gameplay experience to date. FIFA 22 will be released on October 1, 2021, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Origin and Steam, Google Stadia, PS4, and Xbox One. Pre-orders are now open for all platforms.
Check out FIFA 22’s reveal trailer below before we jump into further details:
FIFA 22 will come powered by HyperMotion which will combine advanced 11v11 Match Capture and proprietary machine learning technology to deliver the most realistic, fluid, and responsive football experience for next-gen consoles and Stadia. The game will allow you to unlock the raw emotion, passion, and physicality of the world’s game.
According to EA, HyperMotion technology has allowed the first-ever motion capture of 22 professional footballers playing at high intensity. Additionally, EA’s proprietary machine-learning algorithm learns from more than 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture and then writes new animations in real-time to create organic football movement across a variety of interactions on the pitch. Everything ranging from a shot, pass, or cross is transformed by HyperMotion technology and it determines how players move on and off the ball.
Nick Wlodyka, GM, EA SPORTS FIFA said:
FIFA 22 offers millions of fans around the world a chance to engage with the sport they love in an unprecedented way, Each player experiences FIFA in their own way but on-pitch gameplay is the unifying constant, so we’re excited to offer deep innovation there. HyperMotion elevates that even further on next-gen consoles and Stadia and completely changes the feel of the game.
FIFA 22 also offers deep and innovative features across other parts of gameplay. There are no new modes in the game this time around however improvements have been made all around to existing game modes including Career Mode, VOLTA FOOTBALL, Pro Clubs, and FIFA Ultimate Team. The game features a complete rebuild of the goalkeeper system along with reimagined gameplay in VOLTA FOOTBALL and the introduction of FIFA ULTIMATE Team Heroes.
EA details that additional details about all of the innovations done in the game will be revealed later this summer. The game’s cover is last year’s Paris Saint-Germain striker and global football icon Kylian Mbappé. On landing the game’s cover page again, Kylian Mbappé said:
