EA FC 25 reportedly axing Volta for 4v4 Rocket League-style mode

EA FC 25, the brand that emerged from the split of the FIFA football game series, has reportedly been axing the game mode Volta.

Leakers suggest that a 4v4 Rocket League-like clone would replace the Volta game mode. The street football aesthetic was meant to hark back to the game’s urbanized roots, where kids would practice nutmegs and dribbling under the street lights.

Volta has been a poorly received game mode compared to the series’ more established Career Mode, Pro Clubs, and Ultimate Team. EA Sports had hopes that it could take off like NBA 2K’s 2v2 and 3v3 modes in its outdoor basketball world, which enthuse casual players to develop combos and skills.

For EA, Volta hasn’t been a success, and well known leakers in the soccer esports community have heard rumblings of a successor to the casual mode with a “Kick-Off” style mechanic reminiscent of Rocket League.
