In an exciting development for football gaming enthusiasts, Netflix is set to release a new FIFA game this summer, just in time for the World Cup. The project is being led by Julien Merceron, the former chief technology officer at Konami, who previously oversaw the development of the Fox Engine used in iconic titles like Metal Gear Solid 5 and the Pro Evolution Soccer series. This transition marks a significant shift in the gaming landscape, as Netflix aims to redefine the FIFA franchise away from its long-standing association with EA Sports.
