Talk is circulating that EA FC 27 may introduce an open-world mode named The Grounds. Nothing has been confirmed by EA Sports.
EA FC 27 is reportedly tied to a new open-world mode called The Grounds, a rumor that has started circulating online without any official confirmation from EA Sports.
EA has not announced EA FC 27 features, a reveal date, or any open-world direction for the franchise. Until the publisher confirms or denies the claim, The Grounds should be treated as unverified chatter rather than a locked-in addition to the next EA FC entry.
