Amazing news FIFA fans, as today EA SPORTS have announced that FIFA 12 will receive Euro 2012 as DLC on April 24th/25th on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding Euro 2012 amongst the FIFA community of late, mainly based around whether EA were developing the game at all and finally these rumours can be laid to rest. DLC also seems like a good vehicle for Euro 2012 to us given the proximity of FIFA 12, FIFA Street and the as yet unannounced FIFA 13.

Here’s what we know about Euro 2012 so far…

Euro 2012 will be available as DLC on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

A good move by EA (which is surprising) to release it as an expansion pack.

Yeah, was expecting EA to bring it out for £40 just like in previous years.

'The DLC is based on the Euro 2012 tournament finals only, not qualification.' is a letdown though.

Good idea to bring it out for DLC only. This is how EA will operate soley in a few years time.


Some screenshots.

Only thing is, I liked the World Cup game for Qualifying and Captain Your Country modes. You don't know how hard it was to get Barbados to the World Cup :laugh: Don't think I actually managed it.

Still, this is a good move and shows for once they are looking out for their customers.

Prehaps means there's also a bigger development going on for Fifa, I'm sure it would take half if not quater of the normal Fifa team to make this DLC.

Joel Fiji were a job and a half. But somehow I got to the quarter final once there.

Not sure what to think of this yet. Will wait for videos but it's not going to play as aswell as the World Cup game did.

There's no new gameplay changes.

Apparently they're completely re-doing the engine for Fifa13 as the last 6 have all been on the same engine? It's what I've heard anyway.
