Bellingham has made history yet again, this time by becoming the youngest cover star of EA Sports FC 25. The gaming giant, Electronic Arts, has just released the first trailer for the highly anticipated football game, featuring none other than Jude Bellingham on the cover.
Fans had already caught wind of this news through leaks, but now it's official - the 21-year-old England and Real Madrid player will grace the cover of the second FIFA-licensed game in the series. Bellingham, known for his signature "Belligol" celebration, is depicted on the cover after scoring a dramatic goal in stoppage time against Barcelona in April.
Not only is he the youngest global cover star in EA's football franchise, but Bellingham also makes an appearance on the cover of EA Sports FC Mobile. The Ultimate Edition cover of EA Sports FC 25 features a star-studded lineup, including legendary footballers such as David Beckham, Gianluigi Buffon, Aitana Bonmati, and Zinedine Zidane.
When asked about this prestigious honor, Bellingham expressed his excitement, saying, "Growing up, I used to play this game with my brother all the time, and I always dreamt of being featured on the cover. There have been so many iconic players on the cover over the years, and I am thrilled to be the most recent English player to receive this recognition since 2011."
He also added, "I am truly humbled to be featured on the Ultimate Edition cover alongside legends of the game like Beckham, Bonmati, Buffon, and Zidane." To celebrate this announcement, EA has released a trailer showcasing Bellingham's skills on the virtual pitch.
Last year's cover star for EA Sports FC 24 was Manchester City's Erling Haaland, and despite the name change, the game was still a massive hit. This year's edition will hit the shelves on September 27, but if you are eager to get your hands on it early, the Ultimate Edition offers a seven-day early access starting from September 20.
For EA Play subscribers, a 10-hour trial will be available, as has become the norm for the service. As for the future of FIFA in the gaming world, rumors suggest that a deal has been struck between the football association and Take-Two to produce a new series of games, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
With all the buzz surrounding the game, fans are eagerly awaiting its release.
