EA Sports 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Announced

Everyone's favourite football video game franchise is back, exclusively on current-gen hardware.
Electronic Arts have today announced the development of EA Sports 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil for release solely on current-generation video game consoles. Timed to coincide with the group stages of the international football tournament, the title will feature all of the teams who qualified for this year's World Cup in Brazil along with a refined gameplay engine ported over from last September's FIFA 14.

In a rare turn of events, however, 2014 World Cup Brazil will not retail on next-generation hardware. Yes, you read correctly- the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be deprived of EA Sports' latest footie offering, with their versions of FIFA 14 instead being updated with a host of World Cup-themed modes and championship set-ups. The reign of FIFA on PlayStation 2 appears to have reached a definitive climax too, since there's no sign of this one-off product on the last-generation hardware at present (though the 2010 World Cup video game tie-in didn't launch on PS2, either, meaning that a last-gen edition of this September's annual outing isn't off the cards just yet!).

EA Sports 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil will retail for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on April 17th.
