The Fifa World Cup is only five months away! The official World Cup FIFA game is releasing in April, and will be swiftly followed by FIFA Online, a subscription free online version of the latest FIFA game.

An online version of FIFA has been knocking around parts of Asia for a few years now, but this is the first Europe or North America will see of it. A closed beta starts on February 3rd, with the English language version expected in June, when I hear there’s some kind of big soccer event occurring. Other languages will follow over the next year or two.

The game will be completely free to play and will have all up-to-date teams and leagues.
