As last week's leak suggested, FIFA 18 will be getting an official World Cup update next month. EA spills the beans in a new blog post, which reveals that the update will add new World Cup-flavoured modes while also revamping existing components.
So, what's in store? For starters, we're getting an official World Cup mode, which sees you select a team from the upcoming tournament and tasks you with winning it. On top of that, you'll be able to create your own custom World Cup tournament, allowing you to pick and choose the qualified teams.
Kick-Off mode is getting a World Cup wrapping, too, and, of course, Ultimate Team will receive a full World Cup overhaul. You'll be able to collect player cards from across the teams featured in this year's tournament.
The update arrives on the 29th May, and yes, it'll be a free download. Nice.
Will you be creating your own World Cup? Smash one into the top corner in the comments section below.

I need to buy FIFA 18 now. Wish I'd got it when it was on sale.
WOW normally EA would just release it as a new game and charge £50
guess that backlash from Battlefront 2 might have actually had an effect
@FullbringIchigo To be fair, they'll make more money this way. They're exposing the Ultimate Team cards to everyone who's already bought the game, which will make them lots of cash.
@get2sammyb yeah i forgot about those horrible things
Nice one, happy with that! I was expecting a standalone game or just some tossed off World Cup themed FUT garbage. An actual tournament mode, for FREE? That's what the doctor ordered!
I presume the World Cup Mode can be played offline as well? Any one know? Not interested if it's online only.
Nice! I love the Ultimate Team update like 4 years ago...I sold my both teams just to have money to participate in the world cup and that's what I plan to do again!
After every match you got 1 free card and me and my cousin pulled MESSI once we went insane xD
FUT will probably make more money during the world cup than ticket sales.
@get2sammyb That makes two of us Sammy 😂. I guess it's time for me to finally upgrade from FiFA 14.
Now it's time to buy FIFA 18, it's really fun to play the World Cup online, even if I'm a single-player guy.
@get2sammyb HA! Maybe England can win the title after all. Just kidding.
Ahh, now I need to buy FIFA18 to play as Croatia in World Cup hahha.
