As promised, this afternoon EA released the FIFA 22announcement trailer, which introduces some of the news of this episode of the series coming outon October 1: the most important news, but only for the next generation consoles (the old-gen version will probably be based on the previous engine), is the new HyperMotion animation system,which thanks to the super-precise recording of the movements of real players and the subsequent extrapolation of a huge amount of animations through the AI analysis of thousands of game movies, will offer extremely realistic animations and always consistent with the game context.

We leave you below to the first official information, the trailer and a first set of images.

Based on HyperMotion, FIFA 22 combines the Advanced 11 vs 11 Capture System and proprietary machine learning technology to deliver the most realistic, fluid and responsive football experience for next-generation consoles and Stadia, unlocking the pure emotion, passion, and physicality of the world's most beautiful game.

HyperMotion technology has allowed the integration of the first motion capture of 22 professional footballers who play at high intensity. Not only that: the machine learning algorithm, owned by EA, learns from over 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture, and then writes new animations in real time to create organic calcium movements through a variety of field interactions. Whether it's a shot, a pass, or a cross, HyperMotion transforms the way players move in front of and behind the ball.

The new title will also offer deep and innovative features in other parts of the game and in the most popular modes including Career Mode, VOLTA FOOTBALL, Pro Club, and FIFA Ultimate Team. Fans can expect more constancy and distinct personalities between the goalposts, with a comprehensive reconstruction of the goaliesystem, a brand new Create a Club experience in Career mode, gameplay reinvented in VOLTA FOOTBALL, and the introduction of FIFA Ultimate Team Heroes,completely new elements that represent the stories and glory of the most important and fan-favorite players.
