Next generation gaming studio, Mythical Games has announced that the newly launched FIFA Rivals game has already reached one million downloads. The milestone was achieved within just 6 weeks of the game’s launch and sets a new record as the fastest Mythical Games release to hit the one million mark.
Developed in collaboration with football’s official governing body, FIFA Rivals’ accessibility and dynamic gameplay, coupled with its gentle learning curve, has resonated with the sport’s global fan base, making it a hit with both beginners and experienced player.
The one million players who have downloaded FIFA Rivals to date have made it a cornerstone of their gaming experience, notching 16M goals, 14M interceptions, 7M Supers, and 4M saves over the course of more than 5M matches. Interest in the game has been heightened by a licensing deal with sportswear giant adidas, which has developed a range of exclusive digital wearables, including football boots that can be acquired and traded within FIFA Rivals. Other exclusive items include an adidas match ball and unique jerseys developed especially for the iOS and Android game.
Mythical Games CEO John Linden said: “We’re delighted to have hit the one million mark so quickly, and for the energy of the community that’s coalesced around FIFA Rivals. We knew, even before launching, that the game was going to break all records, but to have gotten here so quickly is a testament to the Mythical Games team and to the partners who have joined us on this journey.”
