Big news today from the world of FIFA as EA Sports announce that women’s football legend Alex Scott will be featured as a commentator in the soon-to-be-released FIFA 22! She is set to become the famous franchise’s first-ever English-speaking female commentator.

During her playing career, Scott was a five-time Premier League winner and a seven-time FA Cup winner with Arsenal, a runner up in the Women’s Euros and a member of the England team that finished third in the 2015 Women’s World Cup, making 140 appearances for her country.

“This is a big moment for FIFA, for football and women and girls across the world,” said Alex Scott, speaking earlier today. “Representation is crucial and the inclusion of an English-speaking female commentator on FIFA is game-changing. The impact it will have is simply stratospheric”.

Happy to finally share the news that I joined the FIFA family and will be commentating for #FIFA22! 🙌🏾🎮

“Whilst I am the first English-speaking female broadcaster to feature in FIFA, I will certainly not be the last. I know this is just the start of stronger female footballing representation from EA SPORTS and the football community as a whole.”

Scott currently plies her trade on the BBC, having provided expert punditry on the channel’s recently concluded Euro 2020 coverage and is set to take over the anchor role on Football Focus this year.

EA Sports are yet to confirm whether gamers will be able to play as women’s club teams, having been able to play only as women’s international teams in recent iterations of the iconic football game.

Konami is turning PES into a digital-only, free-to-play franchise called eFootball.

After over two decades, the historic franchise Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) is coming to an end. Konami is rebranding its PES into a digital-only, free-to-play series.

The long-running franchise will now be known simply as eFootball, with Konami pitching the reworked brand as a “next-generation, free-to-play football simulation experience.”

The move comes after Konami decided to rename the series eFootball PES — or eFootball Winning Eleven in Japan — in 2020, initiating a gradual shift away from the PES brand.

Outlining its plans for the refreshed franchise, Konami explained eFootball will be rebuilt in Unreal Engine and support cross-platform play between console, PC, and mobile platforms.

The Japanese company claims eFootball will be a “platform” in itself, and while the core offering will be free-to-play, some game modes will be sold as optional DLC to give players “the freedom to build an experience that follows their interests.”

A full gameplay reveal is slated for August. Still, Konami has teased a new animation system built around “Motion Matching” technology that “converts the vast range of moments that players make on the pitch into a series of animations, selecting the most accurate one in real-time.”

Some features, including mobile controller support, online leagues, cross-platform matches between console, PC, and mobile, will only be rolled out in Autumn and Winter.

At launch, players can play local matches using a selection of licensed clubs, including Juventus, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, and play cross-generation matches on console platforms.
