“FIFA Killer” Receives Mixed Reactions

UFL

Over the weekend, Strikerz released their new venture, UFL, as a test version.

UFL has been in development since 2016, and over the weekend, we got our first glimpse of the new EAFC competitor when the game developer Strikerz Inc. released a beta version on various platforms. One of the key backers of the game is superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who invested $40 million in the game in 2023.

The release received mixed reactions from various EAFC content creators who tried the game over the weekend. The consensus was that the gameplay is quite different from EAFC, though the menus are much more stable compared to what we’ve seen in EAFC this year.

No official release date for UFL has been announced yet, but 2024 has previously been mentioned as a potential release year. Judging from the beta, it seems that significant development time is still needed, especially for the gameplay aspects of the game.

Below, you can see how the game was received by YouTubers, Twitch streamers, and others in the EAFC/FIFA community.
