FIFA 23 |
A few days ago, EA officially announced the end of its partnership with FIFA and released “EA Sports FC” with almost the same content. On the other hand, FIFA also said that it is negotiating cooperation with other major game publishers. Many people have speculated that Take-Two, another sports game giant, will take over the follow-up works of FIFA. In response to this question, the company’s CEO also recently gave an answer to the media.
In an interview with IGN, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said: “We are certainly interested in expanding our opportunities in sports, FIFA has a strong brand and incredible reach, but we have no plans to discuss at this time.”
Asked the same question on Take-Two’s earnings call on Monday, Strauss Zelnick said: “We’ve noticed (the FIFA brand is up for bids) that we tend to be thoughtful about our business at all times. We’re excited about expanding our sports business, and we don’t have much to say at the moment.”
It seems that Take-Two has not yet finally determined whether to win FIFA, but as a player, it is obvious that they want to play a better football game, rather than letting FIFA, a brand that has been born for decades, be a company that has no experience in football game production. master, right?
