Mythical Games and FIFA Announce New Mobile NFT Football Game, FIFA Rivals
Mythical Games, the studio behind NFL Rivals, has partnered with FIFA to launch FIFA Rivals, a mobile football game set to release in summer 2025 on iOS and Android. This officially licensed game will enable players to build and manage their own football clubs, compete in real-time matches, and trade football stars as NFTs.
FIFA Rivals will use the Mythos blockchain, the same technology powering NFL Rivals, which has surpassed 6 million downloads since its April 2023 launch. Players can expect an exclusive NFT marketplace where iconic football stars from past and present eras will be collectible and tradeable.
This venture follows FIFA’s previous Web3 initiatives, including blockchain-powered games and collectibles launched during the 2022 Qatar World Cup. It highlights FIFA's continued exploration of digital assets despite broader challenges in the NFT market, where most collections struggle with low trading activity and declining values.
Mythical Games’ move reflects the evolving synergy between gaming and blockchain, offering players new ways to engage with football while leveraging emerging Web3 technologies. However, the project will face the challenge of overcoming skepticism in the NFT space and ensuring value for its digital collectibles.
As the launch approaches, FIFA Rivals aims to bring innovation to mobile football gaming and the NFT ecosystem, potentially setting new standards for sports-based blockchain experiences.
