In what can only be described as having a mare, EA leaked news that they are doing a collaboration with Marvel.

Now, a few weeks later, we have received the official press release giving us further details and information on the upcoming collaboration between the two companies.

This may be one of the strangest places we have seen the Marvel licensing pop up after they have had multiple partnerships with other games, most notably Fortnite. That doesn’t mean it isn’t exciting though, this event coming later in the year is certainly one to keep an eye on when FIFA 23 releases.

The two parties coming together for a project like this isn’t too unbelievable considering the pre-existing relationship Disney has with EA due to their Star Wars partnership.

However, Marvel and FIFA 23 may be a huge surprise for both superhero and football fans alike. 

From Heroes to Superheroes

This event will include vanity items that are inspired by the Heroes in the comics, these items will include things like tifos, balls, kits and much more.

The release of the promo will also be accompanied by Marvel Heroes comics, as well as bios for each of the players. Eventually you will be able to get the comics when they have a limited physical release.
