Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today introduced EA SPORTS™ FIFA 22, featuring next-gen HyperMotion technology that brings the football’s most realistic and immersive gameplay experience to life, in every match, and across every mode on next-gen consoles and Stadia. 

FIFA 22 will be available worldwide on October 1 for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Origin™ and Steam, Stadia, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Now, what the hell is HyperMotion?

Powered by HyperMotion, FIFA 22 combines Advanced 11v11 Match Capture and proprietary machine learning technology to deliver the most realistic, fluid, and responsive football experience for next-gen consoles and Stadia, unlocking the raw emotion, passion, and physicality of the world’s game.

HyperMotion technology enabled the integration of the first-ever motion capture of 22 professional footballers playing at high intensity. 

Additionally, EA’s proprietary machine-learning algorithm learns from more than 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture and then writes new animations in real-time to create organic football movement across various interactions on the pitch. 

Whether it’s a shot, pass, or cross, HyperMotion transforms how players move on and off the ball.

“FIFA 22 offers millions of fans around the world a chance to engage with the sport they love in an unprecedented way,”

Said Nick Wlodyka, GM, EA SPORTS FIFA. 

“Each player experiences FIFA in their way, but on-pitch gameplay is the unifying constant, so we’re excited to offer deep innovation there. HyperMotion elevates that even further on next-gen consoles and Stadia and completely changes the feel of the game.”

The new game also offers in-depth and innovative features across other gameplay parts and our most popular modes, including Career Mode, VOLTA FOOTBALL, Pro Clubs, and FIFA Ultimate Team™. 

Fans can expect more consistency and distinct personalities between the posts with a complete goalkeeper system rebuild, an all-new Create a Club experience in Career Mode, reimagined gameplay in VOLTA FOOTBALL, and the introduction of FIFA Ultimate Team Heroes, completely new items that represent the stories and glory of cult players and fan favorites. 

More news on FIFA 22 innovation will follow throughout the summer.

Paris Saint-Germain striker and global football icon Kylian Mbappé graces the cover for the second year in a row, making him one of few to earn back-to-back cover star status, alongside others like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Being on back-to-back FIFA covers is amazing,” 

said Kylian Mbappé. 

“I have an extraordinary relationship with the game and look forward to enjoying FIFA 22 alongside all of you.”
