Everyone's favourite football video game, FIFA 22, is arriving just around the corner and EA Sports has announced that they will be celebrating the game's launch with an online party! With a lineup of special guests and activities for viewers to win prizes, it's going to be an event FIFA fans won't want to miss.

First up, Rich Brian, the Indonesian YouTuber turned rap superstar and now EA Sports FIFA ambassador, who has been featured in PUBG Mobile, will be performing a mix of his biggest hits including Drive Safe, Don't Care, and Sydney (for the first time ever). Not to leave out the EPL fans, Thiago Silva of Chelsea FC will also be giving a demonstration of FIFA 22 on stream. To spice things up, there will also be a competition for viewers to enter to stand a chance to win 1 of 4 Sony PlayStation 5 consoles, signed Chelsea FC kits and copies of FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition. All you have to do is tune in and follow the instructions.

FIFA 22 is EA Sports' latest entry in the annual football series, and will be the first to use the brand new HyperMotion technology that brings football's most realistic and immersive gameplay experience to life, in every match and across every mode on next-gen consoles and Stadia (unfortunately, PC players won't get access to it - at least for now). Video demonstrations of the tech looks impressive and should give FIFA players on next-gen consoles a more authentic experience in the game.

To catch the FIFA 22 Launch Party, just head over to the official Facebook Event page to be reminded. The party will start on 30 September, Thursday, 7 PM (GMT+8). FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition releases on 27th September, while the Standard Edition will be available 1st October. You can pre-order the game now on the official website.
