This will be interesting to see, because it's not the FIFA game everyone who sees this press release is probably thinking about. EA didn't renew the FIFA license, so the game everyone plays is EAFC now. This will be a new game, and curious to see the quality.
Honestly most gaming market entrants would do best to try and capitalize on the lowest common denominator of gamers, ball and gun gamers. They're by far the least likely to care where their games are played, just that the games are accessible with the lowest barrier to entry.
Most other genres of gamers either have their preferred platforms and are far less likely to migrate.
No screenshots. Not even a title screen. No game videos, preliminary or otherwise. Barely a reference to what the genre is. Not a very good announcement for a game, from a strictly technical perspective.
They are partnering with Delphi Interactive, which I hadn't heard of, though they are some partner with IO on the new 007 game.
> Delphi builds AAA games based on the most desirable IP franchises in the world. Delphi has pioneered a proven model to de-risk titles, reduce development costs, and create unprecedented alignment between IP owners, creatives, and developers.
I assume they are some kind of broker between IP and dev studios, though the PR implies they are developing it. The corporate slop tagline isn't encouraging but we'll see.
Curious that there are no images and no info about Delphi Interactive besides their Linkedin page. It won't be a FIFA competitor because of the compute limit of Netflix devices, but any more info would be great.
instead of Delphi Interactive, they should just partner with Konami and create this new game called Fifa. The PES gameplay + Fifa license would destroy EAFC any day.

"A newly reimagined FIFA Arrives on Netflix Games"
to not mislead/confuse with the widely held informal/former name of what's now called EA Sports FC
I thought this was a movie streaming service.
