FIFA 16, the current game in the seriesElectronic Arts

A brand new Federation Internationale de Football Association game is expected to come out this year, with many fans speculating that Electronic Arts will release it before the holidays. According to a report from Gotta Be Mobile, fans may not have to wait too long as "FIFA 17" is expected to release for PS4 and Xbox by September. 

According to the report, the past six "FIFA" games from EA all launched in late September. Given that games tend to release on Tuesday, it is speculated that "FIFA 17" will launch on either Sept. 20 or Sept. 27, although many fans believe it to be the latter as it is closer to the end of the month. 

The report states that a final release date is expected to be announced during this year's E3, which will be held from June 14 to 16. The past "FIFA" games were also presented during E3, and this was also when their release dates were revealed to the public. 

Despite the release still several months away, fans will not need to wait too long to get a chance to try the game themselves. As stated in the report, EA will feature the game during their EA Play event at Los Angeles and London this coming June 12 to 14. However, this is expected to be available solely for select attendees during the event.

Footage and a proper trailer for "FIFA 17" may be presented during E3. It is stated in the report that EA may present what sort of changes, graphic update and roster updates that the game will receive. Given that "FIFA 17" is no longer expected to release for the PS3 and Xbox 360, it may feature better graphics and a more complex physics engine.

According to the report, it is also possible that the game will launch with several different versions. It is speculated that "FIFA 17" will have a Deluxe Edition and a more expensive collector's edition.
