Original Story: The FIFA 18 release date has been revealed, along with the introduction of a special Ronaldo Edition of the game.
The debut trailer, recorded in the game’s engine and showing off some dramatically improved visuals (check out Cristiano Ronaldo’s sweaty face — that’s real-time sweat for you there, folks!) fails to announce when the game will be released, it has been confirmed via the game’s Xbox One and EA Origin pre-order page that it will launch on PS4 and Xbox One on September 29, 2017, and on the PC on September 28. EA also confirmed that FIFA 18 will release on the Switch, though pre-orders for this version of the game are not currently being taken on the EA site. EA has not explained why.
