Having previously revealed that the upcoming FIFA Street game would touch down in March developer EA Sports has narrowed things down formally outing the exact FIFA Street UK release date as March 16th.

Reviving the former franchise EA Sports is to return to its FIFA Street roots with the upcoming release to see showpiece football taken on a global tour giving gamers the chance to transfer their well-honed football-based console credentials to a selection of intimate globe-trotting urban environments.

As well as launching the FIFA Street title the March 16th arrival will also see EA out its new online service with the ‘Street Network’ to land on the same day allowing users to "capture video of their best tricks and share them in-game with friends, showing off their personal favourites and embarrassing their opponents.”

FIFA Street Features

Confirmed at GamesCon last year, FIFA Street will allow gamers to tackle a variety of pitch types from the childhood memory inducing concrete playground to extravagant show piece stages set in global landmarks such as London’s Piccadilly Circus, Tokyo and Amsterdam.

"Street football is all about flare, so we'll have the likes of heel passes and flare passing. What we're debating over right now is how difficult to make a pass,” said EA’s Creative Director of FIFA Street.

"Obviously, in the main FIFA series the difficulty isn't in placing a single pass; it's in stringing 15 or 20 passes together to create space so you can get a good shot away. With such small pitches in Street, one successful pass can potentially put you through on goal for a scoring opportunity."
