FIFA is a sports video game series developed and published by Electronic Arts (EA). When the series began in late 1993 it was notable for being the first to have an official license from FIFA, the world governing the body of football. The latest introduction in the series contains many exclusively licensed leagues. Last year FIFA included the much awaited UEFA leagues in FIFA 19. FIFA franchise has been localized into 18 languages and available in 51 countries. It was also listed in Guinness World Records as the best-selling sports video game franchise globally in 2018.
In E3 (Gaming announcement and conference) EA Sports revealed its first glimpse of the upcoming FIFA 20. The teaser trailer shows for the first time since 2012, street soccer is coming back to the FIFA franchise. EA Sports revealed a new mode called Volta that will bring the small-sided play to FIFA 20. It takes a cue from the FIFA Streetseries that was first launched in 2005.
