The World Cup is fast approaching and will kick off this summer on June 12. The planet's best national sides featuring true powerhouses (Spain, Brazil, Germany), solid hopefuls (USA, Nigeria, Croatia), some weaker teams (Australia, Honduras, Iran) and everyone in between will clash for the ultimate prize in international football.
To coincide with this event, which only takes place every four years, EA is releasing its 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil standalone title. The developers have given us some details on what to expect before the game comes out in April and the tournament kicks off.
The producer, Matt Prior, says that this will be the "most accessible FIFA game" they've ever made due to delivery method and game modes.
EA Sports is adding game types for super casual players (a two-button control mode for simple play), only releasing on Xbox 360 and PS3 (the largest install bases and most popular systems in host-country Brazil, where next-gen adoption is slow) and releasing it as standalone rather than DLC.
The menus are extremely attractive, splashed with the themed colors of the Brazil World Cup and a painting-style appearance. There will be more game modes to take small teams to World Cup glory or play through real-life qualifying scenarios.
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is due out April 15 on Xbox 360 and PS3 only, and is expected to retail for full price.
