Electronic Arts has announced that EA SPORTS is developing an authentic street soccer game. From the creators of the FIFA Soccer franchise at EA Canada, and inspired by street soccer styles and stars from around the world, FIFA Street will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2012.

“This is the first time our award-winning FIFA development team is creating a street soccer game, and we are going to deliver a level of authenticity never before seen in this genre, along with amazing gameplay,” said Matt Bilbey, Vice President and GM of Soccer, EA SPORTS. “FIFA Street will appeal to new fans that are looking for a unique, fun soccer experience, and long-time FIFA fans looking for an authentic street soccer experience with the level of quality that they know and love from the FIFA franchise.”

Powered by the FIFA Soccer gameplay engine, and introducing Street Ball Control, FIFA Street will deliver street dribbling styles and trick moves. Play with and against the stars of the most popular clubs in the world and compete at more than 35 locations around the world.

FIFA Street will be connected to EA SPORTS Football Club, so gamers will be contributing to their Football Club identity. Fans who purchase EA SPORTS Season Ticket will also get, as a bonus offer, full-game digital access to FIFA Street three days in advance of launch.
