EA FC 24 cover star leaked
As we enter the end of the FIFA 23 cycle, a host of leaks regarding EA FC 24 started circulating, including the official game logo, some gameplay features and the release date.
Gaming publication Dealabs Magazine's @billbil_kun revealed on Twitter that after a three-year stint as the cover star of FIFA titles, Kylian Mbappe's reign would be coming to an end in EA FC 24, with Manchester City's Erling Haaland set to replace him.
Haaland is set to front the Standard edition of EA FC 24 on his own and the leaked cover shows him representing Manchester City in a Champions League game.
Haaland is also said to be front and centre on the Ultimate Edition cover, but the striker will be joined by 30 other players, from current men and women players to legends of the game.
According to @billbil_kun, Haaland could be joined by current stars Vinicius Jr, Son Heung-Min and Sam Kerr, as well as legends such as Zinedine Zidane, Johan Cruyff and Pelé.
