EA Sports has released the launch trailer for FC 25, which is out now in early access for people who buy premium edition, ahead of its rollout for everyone on September 27. The launch trailer is intense. The trailer shows legendary footballer David Beckham receiving a phone call but choosing to ignore it and instead turn up his TV’s volume and lean forward to truly focus.
The trailer bounces between footage of the game and live-action scenes showing the dedication people have to the real-world sport with intense, close-up shots of gnarly blisters, a ball-bruised stomach, and x-rays depicting an injured ankle. There is even a quick shot of a player doubling over in exhaustion and throwing up their lunch. Take a look for yourself in the launch trailer below.
21-year-old star Jude Bellingham is the global cover star for FC 25. Bellingham, an English midfielder who plays for Real Madrid, is the youngest star of an EA Sports football game to date, and he’ll also be on the cover of EA Sports FC Mobile.
He is not the only cover star for FC 25, as the game’s Ultimate Edition features Bellingham, alongside Aitana Bonmatí, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Gianluigi Buffon.
FC 25 is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. For more, be sure to read GameSpot’s FC 25 preorder guide.
