"FIFA 17" is rumored to come out in September 2016. Many fans are expecting game developer EA to release the next association football simulation video game exactly one year from its last release. However, there are reports suggesting that the highly anticipated title will be released within the second quarter of the company's fiscal year â€“ from July to September.

The previous releases of the "FIFA" video game franchise were released in September for the last three consecutive years. Fans noted the timeline that led them to believe that EA will also roll out the game in September this year.

According to game observers, this year will be no different as EA is preparing to announce the game and the demo at the upcoming E3 2016 in Lost Angeles.

Meanwhile, there have been numerous reports all over the Internet for the past months suggesting that the next installment will bring major upgrades. It has been reported that the "FIFA" franchise has been going through rough times in terms of sales on their last releases. According to Andrew Wilson, EA CEO, "FIFA 16" will take a "major leap forward in personalization, immersion and competition.

According to iDigitalTimes, improvements will be applied to matchmaking features. It will be easier for players to find each other in the new game. The rematch issues in FUT Online Draft will also be taken care of.
