Cristiano Ronaldo Revealed As FIFA 18 Global Cover Star
Cristiano Ronaldo has pipped rival Lionel Messi once again as the Real Madrid legend features on the cover of FIFA 18.
The Real Madrid star capped off another superb season by scoring twice in the Champions League final against Juventus, cementing his status as the early favourite for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
“It is a real pleasure to be on the cover of FIFA 18,” Ronaldo said. “It’s a great feeling and I am grateful to have been chosen.”
His presence at the centre of FIFA 18 will pit him in yet another battle against Lionel Messi, with the Argentine having signed a deal with Konami to promote Pro Evolution Soccer after featuring on the cover of FIFA 16.
“The world’s best player has helped fuel the biggest leap forward on the pitch that we’ve ever delivered,” said Senior Producer for EA SPORTS FIFA Aaron McHardy.
“We are extremely excited to partner with Cristiano — working with him we learned a lot about his unique play style and what makes him so special. His passion, energy and global fanbase make him the perfect ambassador for FIFA 18.”
The game will be available on Tuesday, September 26 – sticking to that schedule – this year, but only to Early Access players who pre-order either the Ronaldo Edition or the Icon Edition.
Those buyers will get three days of advanced access before the full release on the Friday.
