Amid all the speculations of the possible release of EA Sports' upcoming football video game, it was already confirmed recently that "FIFA 17" will hit the digital markets on Sept. 29 worldwide.

To further excite the fans of football-inspired video gaming, the very first trailer of "FIFA 17" was unveiled by Electronic Arts. The trailer shows a lot of new and exciting features in the game, including the new style and mechanics for the gameplay. New locations will also be highlighted in "FIFA 17." There were shots in the trailer taken from the Manchester United dressing room. There is also an unconfirmed coach seemingly giving instructions to the players, although the Daily Star reported that these unique scenes were not shown in the previous FIFA video games' trailers. This is an indication of how expansive the latest FIFA video game installment is going to be.

The fans should not also miss the new football superstars who will be making their debut in the FIFA video games. The reigning FIFA superstar of the previous FIFA game titles, Lionel Messi, will be replaced by new star players such as James Rodriguez, Eden Hazard, Anthony Martial and Marco Reus. These four players are the recent football superstars to have talks with "FIFA 17" developers to give life to their video game counterparts. They will also appear in the "FIFA 17" pre-order offering as one of the loan players in the "FIFA 17 Ultimate Team".

EA Sports also announced that "FIFA 17" will be the first sports video game to be developed using Electronic Arts' Frostbite engine. However, only the PC versions of "FIFA 17" will be featuring the Frostbite technology. Previous game titles from EA Sports such as "FIFA 16" all sported contents from Ignite engine, Polygon reported.

The fans can expect more details about "FIFA 17" at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 event on June 12.
