It looks like FIFA 18 is getting a World Cup update in the near future, if a North American PlayStation Store leak is anything to go by. The store listing was soon removed, but not before screenshots were passed around social media.
Said screenshots show the one and only Cristiano Ronaldo in his Portugal strip, with an official FIFA World Cup tag hanging above him. The tag specifically says "FIFA World Cup Update" -- there's no mention of Ultimate Team or anything like that, but we assume EA will be prepping limited edition player cards among other things. We'll keep you up to speed once we know more.
What would you like to see from this supposed World Cup update? Let us know who you'll be supporting this summer in the comments section below.

Oh boy! Loved it 4 years ago! Hope it happens soon
My only hope is that it's an actual World Cup mode, rather than just some FUT nonsense. I'd even be happy to pay for World Cup DLC, but not if it's just the kiddy 'card-collecting' thing. I want an actual tournament mode like they did in the standalone versions.
@tomassi totally agree. FUT is not for me but the option to play through a whole tournament with my mate (hopefully with qualifying too) would be great. FUT can FUT off!

IIRC The Switch version is suppose to be getting this update. I can't see the PS4 or Xbox One version not getting it as well.
@playstation1995 never! We portuguese would never let you win eheh
I know a lot of people moan about there being hardly any improvements between each FIFA iteration as it is, but I think it's a shame they've stopped doing a standalone release for the world cup games now.
As a pretty avid FIFA fan (the game series, not the organisation), I always quite liked seeing what little tweaks they'd make to the gameplay as well as quite often they hinted at what might be in the next mainline game.
As a game collector as well, I've got all the World Cup games since France 98 so there'll be a bit of a gap when I look back in the future.
Hope this update is decent, I found the Brazil 2014 update to FIFA 14 on PS4 to be very disappointing, and for some reason the standalone game was only released on PS3.
At least EA have had the sense to release this as an update and not a full-price standalone game.

I never thought I’d be approaching a World Cup having to decide who to support, as it’s practically always been a given to see Italy among the bunch...just not this year 😭😭😭
I’ll probably be supporting Portugal or some semi-underdog like that; to be honest I don’t wanna see France, Brazil, Argentina, Germany or Spain winning it. England would be kinda cool, as they’ve flopped quite hard in the last international tournaments.
I'm calling it now, an Italy v Netherlands final.
@ApostateMage In which Ronaldo somehow scores a 96th minute penalty to win the game.
Maybe I will buy FIFA 18 then.
And United States will win the next World Cup!
@PS_Nation Unfortunately US didn't qualify for the this year's World Cup
@Tasuki Oh snap! :3
@clvr Not that I want these teams to win, but the favorites (imho) are: Spain, Germany, France and Brazil. I wouldn't include Argentina because of their defence.
@PS_Nation yep, I agree.
Argentina is a bit overrated because of their insanely crowded attack, but aside from Otamendi (who’s gotten better over the years but still is a bit of a hit-and-miss player), you can’t really say their line of defense is tight.
They’ve also got some quality if a bit similar midfielders, but overall I wouldn’t rank them among the very best.
