This year's World Cup helped Electronic Arts move tons of units of both FIFA Soccer 06 and 2006 FIFA World Cup, but the world's biggest sporting event and its millions of fans must move on. EA is moving on too, as it has officially announced FIFA Soccer 07.

The latest game of footie is headed to the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, PSP, DS, PC, and the Game Boy Advance on September 29 in the UK. EA has not yet announced a release date for the US. Though a recent statement from EA does not mention any next-gen versions of the game, the game's official Web site bears an Xbox 360 logo, meaning that a version for Microsoft's next-gen console is likely coming later.

Now that international pride has been settled for the next four years, FIFA 07 is concentrating once again on the club circuit. The game will feature the licenses of dozens of leagues, and will introduce the new EA Sports Interactive Leagues, which allow fans to square off in online leagues based on real-world schedules.

The PSP version also boasts improved connectivity with the PS2 version, enabling gamers to transfer data between the two platforms, and play a single franchise mode at home or on the move. DS owners will be able to create their own custom chants using the console's microphone, and more precise off-the-ball running routes can be ordered with the "Touch Run" feature.

Check back later this week for GameSpot's impressions of the current-gen versions.

    I heard that the romanian Liga I will be in the game. Nice, for the first time I'll get to lead STEAUA to a high level team.

    If the gameplay is anything like Fifa WC then it'll be a winner. But if they can only get the offside trap and the darn player select worked out.

    You know that EA is not going to run away from the arcade like style of the gameplay engine they are usiing. I have a feeling we are in for a real disappointment and this is not only going to be disappointing but very damaging to EA's reputation and I most say that this Years FIFA 07 might not live up to expectations of the long abide fans of the series. All they want really is money they don't care about the gameplay they care whether or not you buy the darn thing which is why they have kept it the same and will not upgrade the game from its predecessors.

    If EA puts in lots of new features they can cope with the nextgen, I'm sure

    Then shalafi00, I suggest you play Pro Evo and shut up while we play fifa. As you said you haven't played fifa since 2001 and if you assume it hasn't changed in five years, you're dumb.

    I'm amazed that people still actually play Fifa. I stopped playing it after Fifa 01 i think, as even after playing 10 seconds of Pro evo, you realise that fifa is a complete waste of your time. Anyone that hasn't played pro evolution soccer/winning eleven, should drop what they are doing right now, grab ALL of their copies of fifa, including the only good one they ever made, fifa 99, and just burn them all. It's like comparing a VW beetle from the 60's to the new Zonda F. Just no comparison. Go with Pro Evo, just that much better.
