FIFA 14 EA SPORTS IGNITE Engine Official Trailer

EA Sports president Andrew Wilson announced "a brand-new, broad strategic partnership between EA and Microsoft," and said that new entries in all four franchises will be released within the next year. In addition, the Xbox One version of FIFA 14 will feature exclusive content for FIFA Ultimate Team.

EA Labels president Frank Gibeau hinted at the cross-game engine earlier this month, saying that Ignite (sports games) and EA DICE's Frostbite 3 engine (action games) will power "all of our development on the new systems." EA's internal sports studios — EA Tiburon in Orlando, Fla., and EA Canada in Burnaby, British Columbia — have shared technology between themselves for current-generation titles: For example, Tiburon is using AI technology from FIFA and NHL for NCAA Football 14 this year. But developing all of EA's sports games on the same engine is unprecedented.
