Footballing legend Christiano Ronaldo is being lined up to star on the cover of the upcoming FIFA 18.
The news was revealed with a new FIFA 18 trailer. EA Sport’s football game will be hitting PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year, and this will be Ronaldo’s first time making the cover of a FIFA game, having beaten out competition from Lionel Messi.
Previously, Messi had bagged four consecutive years as the FIFA poster boy, although last year his reign was ended by Marco Reus.
Check out the FIFA 18 cover below.
Ronaldo has enjoyed a fantastic year, with the 32-year-old winning the European Championship with Portugal before going on to scoop the Ballon d’Or trophy at the inaugural Best FIFA Men’s Player award.
Publisher Electronic Arts has also unveiled the FIFA 18 teaser trailer later, and we already know that the campaign mode ‘The Journey’ will be making its return from last year’s outing alongside a new Chinese Super League.
The FIFA 18 release date has been confirmed as September 29, 2017.
