7 Most Exciting New Features Announced In FIFA 21 Reveal

7. 5 v 5 Volta

When FIFA 20 was advertised 12 months ago, the return of street football with the new mode Volta was at the front of the EA Sports marketing campaign. However, Volta did not have the impact they were hoping for. A lacklustre short story and poor online matches didn’t help the gameplay which was less than spectacular.

One of the biggest gripes in this mode though, was despite being able to play online, you couldn’t play with friends, which would have potentially been its biggest selling point.

In FIFA 21, we will see the introduction of Volta squads which will allow you to team up with three friends and play online in 5v5 matches. This should have been available when the mode was introduced last year, but for those who enjoyed it, this will give them an extra reason to purchase this year’s title.

Volta plays very different to normal gameplay in FIFA and the addition of being able to play on the same team as friends online should give players a genuine alternative to Ultimate Team.
