Nintendo Switch Trailer Shows Off Fifa But Seems Unlikely To Be A First Look At Fifa 18

A new Japanese trailer for Nintendo Switch features a few seconds of action from FIFA, but it seems pretty unlikely this is the world’s first look at FIFA 18.

Firstly, although EA has now referred to this year’s Switch FIFA as FIFA 18, the new trailer doesn’t mention any specific version. Secondly, there’s no way EA would choose to showcase the latest entry in one of its biggest franchises with a visually inferior edition on Switch.

Much more likely is a reveal of the PS4 and Xbox One editions in the summer, followed later by some shots of the Switch version.

Earlier this year EA’s Patrick Söderlund said “EA Sports’ FIFA on Nintendo Switch will be the most immersive, social, and authentic sports game ever created for Nintendo players.”

He added: “It will deliver the FIFA experience custom-built for Nintendo Switch so you can play anywhere, play with anyone, and play how you want to play.”

Nintendo Switch launches March 3.
