Mythical Games has announced a new project tentatively titled FIFA Rivals, set to launch on mobile devices in 2025.
Game Development and Features
FIFA Rivals will be available on both Apple and Android devices. The game builds on the success of Mythical’s previous project, NFL Rivals, aiming to strengthen the company’s position in Web3-based gaming. Blockchain-based features are expected to be included, though specific details on NFT integration and digital assets have yet to be revealed.
Mythical Games' Investments in Web3 Gaming
Mythical Games has established itself as a key player in the Web3 gaming sector, raising $150 million in Series C funding in 2021, led by Andreessen Horowitz. This pushed the company's valuation to $1.25 billion.
FIFA's Blockchain Strategy
The launch of FIFA Rivals will not mark FIFA’s first step into blockchain technology. The organization previously launched digital collectibles tied to ticketing benefits for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, offering holders exclusive access to final match tickets. The game, set to be released in June, is aimed at leveraging the excitement around international soccer events while engaging both mobile gamers and crypto-savvy audiences.
The launch of FIFA Rivals by Mythical Games highlights strategic moves in the Web3 gaming sector and FIFA’s continued engagement with blockchain technology.
