Francesco Totti has been unveiled as an Icon for EA FC 26, the football title from EA Sports. A video released on the publisher’s channels in Canada features the former Roma captain announcing the news and delivering the line, “Now I’ll make the spoon again.”
The Totti Icon will be usable at launch in EA FC 26’s Ultimate Team mode, scheduled for release at the end of September. It isn’t ruled out that, in the weeks following launch, the card could also appear in Career mode, as has happened with other Icons in the last edition of EA FC. Additionally, players who purchase the Ultimate Edition may have a chance to obtain the Totti Icon for free when the game goes live.
There is no official confirmation yet regarding Daniele De Rossi’s inclusion in EA FC 26.
What this means for fans and players
– Totti’s addition reinforces EA’s continued emphasis on legendary players as special ICON cards in Ultimate Team, a draw for Roma supporters and Italian football fans.
– The early availability exclusively in Ultimate Team mirrors the strategy seen in prior releases, with potential cross-mode availability to follow.
– The prospect of De Rossi’s status remaining unclear keeps fans watching for further announcements.
Summary
Francesco Totti joins EA FC 26 as an Icon, initially playable in Ultimate Team at launch with a possibility of later access in Career mode. Early access options may apply to Ultimate Edition buyers. No confirmation exists yet on Daniele De Rossi’s presence. The move highlights EA’s continued focus on iconic players to enrich Ultimate Team and engage fans ahead of the game’s release at the end of September.
Additional note
This update could provide fresh challenges and nostalgia for longtime Roma supporters, while signaling more potential legendary additions as EA FC 26 evolves post-launch.
