Open World Not Coming on FC 26: What EA Fans Need to Know

Reports of the Open World not coming on FC 26 have disappointed many EA FC fans who were hoping for something new this year. Over the past few months, gamers were excited after hearing rumors that FC 26 Open World mode would allow players to walk around as their avatars, meet other users in an online city, and play football matches in street locations, similar to what we see in NBA 2K’s “The City.”

But now, according to popular EA FC leakers, the news is confirmed: Open World is not coming to FC 26. This feature is not ready yet and won't be available in this year’s game. Instead, it may come in future editions like EA FC 27 or even later. Let’s look at what happened, what was said by trusted insiders, and how the gaming community is reacting to it.

Open World Not Coming on FC 26

One of the most trusted leakers in the EA FC community, FutSheriff, shared the latest update on X. According to the tweet, EA has decided not to include an Open World in FC 26. This is mainly because the development is still going on, and the feature won’t be ready in time for this year’s release.

This clearly confirms that EA has been working on the EA FC 26 Open World mode, but they do not want to release it in an unfinished state. Instead, they are taking their time to test it and improve it before bringing it to the game. Early testers who played the beta version of the game also said that the Open World mode did not feel complete or exciting. It had very limited features like locker rooms and training areas, but it was missing the real freedom that fans expected.

So, for now, players can expect no Open World experience in FC 26. EA is focused on improving other features like Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and gameplay instead.

Community Reaction on Open World Not Coming on FC 26

After the leak, fans quickly reacted on social media. Some were upset, some were glad that EA didn’t release an unfinished mode, and others just wanted EA to focus on fixing the main parts of the game. Here is what some of the popular tweets and fans had to say:

One user remarked, “Open World won't be part of FC 26 fans will have to wait longer for that feature.”

Another EA FC fan said, "No shit they have been making fut for over a decade and it has only gotten worse and is almost unplayable."

One fan sounded amused and irritated as he stated, “FC 49 we will be there.”

Another user drew comparison to GTA when he remarked, “No problem. I want to play football when I play FC26. For open-world games, I prefer playing GTA.”

Fans clearly want something fresh, but not at the cost of quality. The reactions are a mix of hope, patience, and frustration.
