The accolades continue to roll in for Cristiano Ronaldo; fresh off winning La Liga and the Champions League, the Real Madrid star is now the face of the best-selling sports video-game franchise on the planet.
EA Sports announced on June 5 that Ronaldo will grace the cover of FIFA 18, which will be released later this year. It will pit him against Barcelona rival Lionel Messi in yet another category, as the Argentine has signed up to appear on the cover of Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer.
FIFA’18 INFORMATION BELOW
FIFA 18 will be released worldwide on Friday, September 29. There are two ways, however, to get your hands on the game early.
The first is to pre-order the ‘Ronaldo Edition’ or ‘Icon Edition’, priced at £79.99 ($79.99) and £89.99 ($99.99) respectively and packed with bonus Ultimate Team content.
They will be available to play on Tuesday, September 26 , which is in line with EA’s knack for going live on a late Tuesday in September.
If that’s not soon enough you’ll need to sign up to EA Access (Xbox One) or Origin Access (PC), both of which cost either £3.99 ($4.99) a month or £19.99 ($29.99) a year. That will get you 10 hours of trial play time from Thursday, September 21 .
If you’re a PlayStation 4 player, the September 26 date is the earliest you will be able to play.
Thumbs up!!!
