Football is something of a hot topic at the moment (we have been reliably informed), so it seems only fitting that the folks over at EA Sports have seized the opportunity to share news about FC 25, which will score its full reveal trailer tomorrow (17th July).
This trailer will premiere on the EA Sports FC YouTube channel at 09:00 PDT / 17:00 BST / 18:00 CEST. The premiere's description seems to suggest that "Everything For the Club" will be this year's tagline — it sounds suitably forgettable, eh?
Alongside this announcement of tomorrow's reveal, we also got our first look at the FC 25 'Ultimate Edition' cover, which this year is crammed with familiar football faces including Gianluigi Buffon, Aitana Bonmatí Conca, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham and Jude Bellingham.
The above tweet from @EASPORTSFC was reposted by Nintendo of America, seemingly confirming that this year's entry will be coming to Switch (as if there was any doubt).
For the first time in years, we will be excited to see it come our way. FIFA stagnated on Switch in the end, with Legacy Editions on Legacy Editions driving a hard bargain for Nintendo players. Fortunately, last year's EA Sports FC 24 (the first game following the EA rebrand), was a step in the right direction and we concluded that "Switch owners finally have a port they can be proud of, rather than feeling like an afterthought" in our review.
What do you hope to see from EA Sports FC 25? Let us know in the comments.

My only expectation from Switch version is 3d grass. FC 24 did already a good job. Next gen features will be for the next Switch.
You know this game series is exciting when the first comment is about grass.
All I want is the full game on cartridge. Otherwise, it's another skip.
And I wouldn't expect anything revolutionary between now and the next console. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the Switch version will be a "Legacy Edition".
I play FC24 with my son, I say that because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't!
However my take on the game is that it's a mess, and better played for the comical value. In a game at the weekend I called it Fall Guys Football. Players stumble around, bump into each other, players sometime ignore the direction you want them to go. PS2 pro evo was the golden age for football video games.
Unfortunatley I will have a look at the new one bcause I will probably have to play it!
I don't know how much it being restricted to 30fps is a factor, but I do find the controls in FC24 to be more frustrating than previous FIFA iterations. Once you commit a player to a direction, it feels an age before you can change it, like you're playing some janky Assassin's Creed, or combat in Monster Hunter. That is not fun when it comes to controlling football players. So my number one ask is: make the players much more responsive.
I'm not a fan of FIFA/EA FC, but I love that headline.
My fear for Switch is that it will be a legacy edition like they did before . If people remember EA Release a Brillant First FIFA then versions afterwards were legacy editions.
History repeats?
