EA Sports FIFA 17 will use the Frostbite engine

World football is changing as Electronic Arts revealed that EA Sports FIFA 17 will use the Frostbite engine for the soccer game for the very first time. The game engine, originally developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (aka EA DICE), is currently using its Frostbite 3 version for games such as Need for Speed (2015), Star Wars Battlefront (2015), Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017), Mirror’s Edge Catalyst (2016), EA PGA Tour (2016), Battlefield 1 (2016) and FIFA 17 (2016).

“Frostbite unlocks a whole new world of possibilities for the FIFA franchise and its fans,” said David Rutter, VP and Executive Producer, via a press release. “We have never been as excited as we are today about the future of football and the experiences we are going to deliver in FIFA 17.”

Also, four well-known soccer players have been selected as ambassadors by FIFA 17 to show off their sportif talent and the engine’s true-to-life action. Among them: James Rodriguez of Real Madrid C.F., Anthony Martial of Manchester United, Eden Hazard of Chelsea FC, and Marco Reus of Borussia Dortmund.

Fans will see more about this game during the upcoming EA Play 2016 event [http://ea.com/play2016] this coming Monday at 1 PM Pacific time.
