EA Sports have released the first details of FIFA 18 this week.

FIFA has become an addiction for many football fans, with the game going from strength-to-strength since it's inception in 1993.

And now fans look forward to the newest version of the game every year, with players snapping up copies in their droves.

If you're a FIFA fan, here's everything you need to know about the newest edition of the game.

When will it be released?

The game will be launched on September 26 in the US, with the UK release date set for September 29.

An early-access period begins three days earlier.

The prices for the standard, Ronaldo and Icon versions of the game are set by EA Sports in their online store.

Retailers are expected to lower prices closer to launch and Amazon has already lowered the price of the standard version to £49.99 here with free delivery on 26 September.

Tesco is also offering the lower price of £49.99 for the standard version. If you use the £5 discount code you can reduce the price to £45. Visit the store here and use code TDX-VPKP at checkout to get the discount.

Which consoles will it be on?

FIFA 18 will be available to play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

A 'Gold Version' will be launched for the PS3 and Xbox 360, but it will be an update in name only, with none of the new features included.

The squads will be updated however.

Who is the cover star this time?

Cristiano Ronaldo was unveiled as the cover star last week.

Yes. FIFA 18 will include the second part of Alex Hunter's career, with the game mode first being introduced in last year's game.

The new edition will allow players to customise the character's looks and clothes and will also include some other - yet to be revealed - playable characters.
