EA Sports announced the FIFA 18 release date and Cristiano Ronaldo will be featured on the cover. Cristiano Ronaldo has done a lot of his illustrious career. He’s won most major trophies and his business empire continues to grow at an impressive clip.
But one thing he had never done was star on the cover of the world’s most popular soccer video game. That is, until now: Ronaldo was unveiled on Monday as the new cover star for the global version of FIFA 18.
Ronaldo is considered one of the best players in soccer and will now dawn the global cover of FIFA 18. The franchise is going with the slogan “Fueled by Ronaldo” to help promote the game.

As part of the announcement, EA Sports also released a trailer that shows a rather life-like Ronaldo making his mark:
The news comes at a time when Ronaldo couldn’t be flying any higher. He just won both the UEFA Champions League and the La Liga trophy. He won the FIFA best player award and the Ballon d’Or for last year and he’s already had another year worthy of winning both individual honors again.
While Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have gone back and forth on trophies, Messi has been the global cover star of the FIFA video game series four times. This is Ronaldo’s first time as the face of the franchise and it’s a new frontier in the never-ending Ronaldo vs. Messi debate.
EA Sports released an early preview of FIFA 18 along with the FIFA 18 release date. As it stands, FIFA 18 is scheduled to be released on September 29.
PROMO FOR GAMERS - With a release date set for September 29, EA is offering a three days of early access if fans pre-order the game.
