FIFA 22 is just weeks away, and EA has been slowly revealing new information for all the various game modes that will be available at launch. This time, EA has decided to show fans some of the new features it has added to the Volta game mode that was first introduced in FIFA 20.
There was a lot of excitement leading up to the release of Volta, but it quickly died down due to a lack of new features and updates. However, just like Career Mode in FIFA 22, it seems like EA is determined to give fans a complete package this year. While Ultimate Team will still remain the focus, it looks like some new ideas are being implemented in all of the major pillars of FIFA 22. This trailer gives fans a glimpse of some of these features.
The trailer begins by showing the new Signature Abilities that have been added to the game. One of these will allow players to gain a massive burst of pace, while another lets them perform aggressive tackles without the fear of fouling the opponent. This is followed by footage of Disco Lava, Foot Tennis, and Dodge Ball that will be added to FIFA 22 as a part of Volta Arcade. Foot Tennis is probably the most exciting of them all, and it will be interesting to see if the novelty wears off soon after launch. Volta Arcade will be comprised of 8 party games, with more coming post-launch. At the end of the trailer, EA promises to deliver new gear, content, and locations for each season of Volta.
While Volta in FIFA 21 has struggled to retain an active player base over the course of the year, these new additions should add some variety. It will allow fans to play some casual games as they take a break from the competitive aspect of FIFA 22. EA had previously announced some of the gameplay changes that will be coming to Volta, and it seems like this mode will be worth playing for more than just a few months after launch.
Pros also played a full regular match of FIFA 22 for fans that want to see all of the new features that have been added to the game, including the heavily marketed Hypermotion Technology. Given that there is no demo available for the game, this will give players a better idea of the look and feel of FIFA 22 on launch day.
FIFA 22 launches on October 1 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
