Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson previously stated he believes the company would be better off ending its license with FIFA. He said the license has been “an impediment” for EA’s ambitions for the football/soccer series.
VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb in the latest episode of the Giant Bomb show GrubbSnax and reported by ResetEra claims EA will be renaming its FIFA franchise when the current licensing deal expires with this year’s release.
Grubb claims EA will rename the series to EA Sports FC, while FIFA will develop and release its own football games. FC stands for football club.
EA last year filed a trademark for EA Sports FC with UK’s Intellectual Property Office and the European Union Intellectual Property Office.
