Rumor] Take 2 might be partnering with FIFA for a new 2k soccer (football) game.

I have some doubts.
2KFC is a bit too much for me to take at face value considering the circumstances.
By circumstances I mean April fools is tomorrow(or possibly already begun depending on where they live in the world).

The good news is that we won't have to wait long till we know if there's any validity to it and to this guy in general(when it comes to 2K leaks).

Information from the leaker of Marvel 1943, Marvel Rivals and Sonic x Shadow. Either this is an April Fools Joke or he didnt realize it.

Yes, it's coming this year. 2K will announce it on Tuesday. The official title will be 'FIFA2KFC'.

KFC game sponsored by FIFA with chickens running on the field.

TakeTwo and EA right now

I'm sure the memes will be good lol. But hopefully the game is good. More competition for soccer games can only be better

2KFC? No way, why not just call it FIFA or FIFA 2K?

FIFA 2K24 would make total sense if they are able to get the licenses for the main national teams, and all the clubs and players from the main leagues.

But I'd prefer FIFA KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), which is what this account seems to suggest.

1st April?

1st April?

Of course.

I was one of the playtesters and let me tell you, the gameplay was finger licking good

Nice.

 

[John Elden Ring]

Nice.

Seems it was an April Fools joke

Who knows but the rumor was started way before April.

1st April?

This thread was made awhile ago way before April.

 

[Gamernyc78]

This thread and rumor is from Feb why would this be an April Fools joke? If it is tht was alot of forward planning

 

[Cool hand luke]

April Fool's!

 

[Gamernyc78]

April Fool's!

Again this info and thread was posted in February. Obviously the KFC part is April Fools but the 2K partnership probably is not.

Options for sports games are great. However, 2k will have less licenses than EA and this game might get overrun with 2k's bullshit VC microtransction.

If it is 2K then this job listing might be relevant.

"We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the 2K: Core Games Product team. Your role will be to help strategically shape content, live service, and monetization plans to marry player value and commercial goals. You will work closely with studios and product leadership to develop, guide, implement, and optimize the Live Services strategies supporting our new IPs' creative vision."

They are looking for people to create monetization models for "new IPs." Could be for the FIFA game if the rumor is true.

Nice find.

Would be a huge threat to EA. 2k is the most popular sports game in the U.S. by far. If take 2 can take a chunk out of their soccer dominance globally it would be cool to see.

Huh? Madden beats it every year, comfortably.

Anyways, I suspect that the name is a joke even though it was posted slightly before AFD. The reason? The name has KFC in it (haha) when prior to this year none of the soccer series had FC in the name. If this really were to happen then T2 could just go with the old FIFA ## standby. EA doesn't have a trademark on the calendar year.
