EA Sports Confirms 2014 FIFA World Cup in Development

I really hope it's stand alone.

The WC game was my favorite sports game this gen. Just a ton of fun.

World Cup games appeal to the more casual audience so you can definitely expect it on all consoles and as a disc game. WC 2010 was released on everything, including PSP and PS2, so it wouldn't make sense not to release it on everything. Also, considering EA has nothing scheduled between the launch of UFC and Madden (unless there is a golf game as they haven't actually said no golf game is coming), they need to make money from a 50-60 dollar title.

So FIFA 14 doesn't have the world cup in career mode? As in, there aren't qualifying matches?

I was wondering to myself about this game the other day. Glad to hear that it's being released. I skipped Fifa in favor of PES 14, but I'll probably pick this up.

yes, there is qualifying for europe and possibly south america (not sure). there is a world cup, confederations cup, euro and copa america. it's all half-*** generic cups though.

I hope it's a stand alone game. Euro 12 was a big disappointment. WC 2010 is still my favorite game on current-gen. Can't wait to start qualification with Jamaica, Haiti, Luxembourg. Oh can't wait. The atmosphere was good in wc 10

This is great news, whether the game is DLC or stand-alone.

2010 FIFA World Cup game and the event itself was the one that got me into FIFA and soccer. Playing it again I think it was the one that really started the turn around of FIFA. I enjoyed it a lot more than FIFA 13 actually. Only issue with the game was the usual FIFA marking/positional stuff and some tweaks to acceleration/sprint speed sliders were needed. I don't plan to switch to next gen until this game comes out, so I really hope it's a standalone game.
