Is FIFA Online Making A Comeback?

The FIFA Online servers in Europe and North America were closed over a year a go now but is EA’s free-to-play football offering about to make a comeback?

Well fans of the game in Asia can certainly expect better things as Korean publishing giant Nexon appear to be in the final stages of sealing a partnership to distribute the “next” EA SPORTS FIFA Online title. Rumours of an EA takeover bid by Nexon were doing the rounds a few weeks ago but it appears the source of these rumblings was actually FIFA Online, with EA looking to utilise Nexon’s free-to-play expertise in the region.

Whether we’ll see FIFA Online again on Western shores is anyones guess, but it’s promising that EA are still persisting with the game in Asia and if this partnership takes off, we could see it replicated here in the future.

Anyone still feeling burnt by EA’s decision to turn-off FIFA Online? Would you like to see it return? Anyone dislike the way they market the game in Asia…

    EA + online = EPIC FAIL, maybe they should try fixing the current sync errors in 12 before embarking on any other online ventures

    never heard of it

    @Ham that might be why EA shut this in Europe and the US. FIFA Online had a strong hardcore following but in this part of the world the console game is just too strong. Why play an online version when it’s already in your console with better graphics, gameplay etc.

    Please fix the commentators, they dissapear very often when i play the game.. I have to close down the game and Open it again to play.. Very annoying.. Also fix the AI In fifa13 the defence run behind every time you Press the backs fx..

    i hope in fifa13, the celebrations, the replays will be much more realistic.. And better and more cutscenes also when they go into the pitch..im also hoping they make a new system to better search for players in career and better overview in the game generel..

    FIFA online was the best game I ever played. It wasnt difficult to play on keyboard, even on a mouse. What’s more imporant, players in your team had level up, and you could make strong team with no world stars. EA turn FIFA Online off because it was dangerous for FIFA 12 Ultimate Team, which generate giant earnings. It probably never back.
