5 things you missed from the EA FC 26 reveal trailer including new Evolutions hint and new Icons

Daily Mirror17-07-2025
There was a lot to digest from the EA FC 26 reveal trailer, so we've rounded up some cool things you might not have noticed.
EA Sports has given players a first look at EA FC 26 with the EA FC 26 reveal trailer, but there are some interesting details you may have missed.

The hype surrounding EA FC 26 is now starting to build, with EA Sports starting to reveal the first bits of information about the new game. After unveiling Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition cover star and confirming the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition pre-order bonuses, EA has now given players a taste of how EA FC 26 looks, with lots of gameplay being delivered as part of the EA FC 26 reveal trailer.

Here are five things you might have missed in the EA FC 26 reveal trailer.

EA FC 26 trailer breakdown – things you may have missed
The EA FC 26 reveal trailer told us a lot more about the new game than ever before, but we've dissected the trailer to try and find anything that you may have missed.
New EA FC 26 Icons
Yes, we all know that Ibrahimovic is coming to EA FC 26 as a new FUT Icon, but did you spot the others in the EA FC 26 trailer? Towards the end of the trailer, former United States striker Alex Morgan is seen, confirming her inclusion in EA FC 26 as a FUT Icon.

But, as well as Ibrahimovic and Morgan, we may have seen another Icon teased. One minute and 35 seconds into the trailer, a goalkeeper makes a save, while the text 'New Icons' appears on screen. Based on EA FC 26 Icon leaks, we think that this goalkeeper could be former Bayern Munich and German player, Oliver Kahn.
Skill Moves and Weak Foot indicator
Quite a useful addition which wasn't highlighted in the trailer, but it seems we will now be able to see the skill moves and weak foot of each player during games in EA FC 26, both for our own players and our opponents. Only a small addition, but it appeared in all of the gameplay footage, and this can be extremely useful down the line when you are using new players and wanting to know what their skill moves and weak foot are during a game.

New Camera Angle
A large chunk of the EA FC 26 reveal trailer was shown from a new camera angle, and although it may not have looked like a new camera angle, it is. It seems EA is adding a new third-person camera angle in EA FC 26, which looks much better than the Pro camera angle currently available in EA FC 25.
The camera angle seems to be slightly higher and further out than the Pro camera angle in EA FC 25, giving you a much bigger view of the pitch. The camera also seemed to move quite a bit in the trailer, and I think it looks great.

Goalkeepers in Rush and goalkeeper Evolutions hint
After a lot of demand from the community, EA has listened, with goalkeeper set to be a playable position in EA FC 26. This means that games can increase to five players on each team at a time, but maybe more importantly, it hints towards a big update fans have been crying out for in EA FC 25 – goalkeeper Evolutions.
The one position which you can't evolve in Ultimate Team, being able to use goalkeepers in Rush means that we should now be able to complete Objectives with goalkeepers to earn upgrades. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it sure is a big hint.
Confetti celebration
Lastly, it looks like last-minute celebrations are set to get a whole lot crazier in EA FC 26, with EA seemingly adding confetti into the mix.
This could just be a visual addition for the trailer, but I think this will be coming in EA FC 26, so expect to see confetti cannons blasted if you find the top corner in the last minute to win the game. There will probably be confetti left on the pitch when you kick off again though, so make sure you save yourself from embarrassment and don't concede a last-second equaliser.

Games Inbox: Is there a secret Nintendo Switch 2 Christmas game?

The Monday letters page thinks Battlefield 6 could be a big hit this autumn, as one reader hopes Final Fantasy 17 will be more like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Summer to winter I see there's still a lot of talk about whether Nintendo has a 'secret' new Switch 2 game for this Christmas but I will be absolutely shocked if they do. We're probably getting a Nintendo Direct this week, that I can believe, but what are people expecting? Animal Crossing or a new Mario? I don't see it. The new Mario is never going to come out straight after Donkey Kong, it's much more likely going to be left for the new movie next year. And while they might tease Animal Crossing, they're not going to release it this year, no way. Why not? Because normal people don't buy new video game consoles in the middle of the summer. Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza are Nintendo's big Christmas games. They may not be secrets, but they are just about the most mass market games they have and they don't even need anything else, especially not with Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends out this year. There might be some small game or port or something like that, but I am certain there won't be any more big new games until next year. Taylor Moon In the wings I think people are underestimating Battlefield 6 a bit. Battlefield was huge up until Battlefield 4 and if EA hadn't messed up it could have overtaken Call Of Duty as everyone's favourite military shooter. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. I don't know if Call Of Duty is in too deep now but you don't have to overthrow it to still be a massive hit. I like what I'm hearing about Battlefield 6 so far and I think it could be massive. Although it does depend what this year's Call Of Duty will be like, but if it's a dud then EA are right there able to take advantage of Activision's mistake. Lotto Pre-word of mouth Would just like to agree with the Reader's Feature about Star Wars Outlaws. It's a really great game and I feel it was victim to everyone assuming it would be bad and never bothering to find out whether it was or not. This sort of thing happens a lot, it seems to me, where a game (or movie) is killed by online word of mouth before anyone has actually played it. I'm not saying the game is an all-time classic but as only a moderate Star Wars fan I had a lot of fun with it and agree it's Ubisoft's best open world game in a long time. There're some neat little improvements to the formula going on and I can only hope they at least make it into other non-Star Wars games. I would absolutely recommend it, especially if you can find it cheap. Lomas Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Survival plan Survival crafting games aren't my usual fair but when there's a neat setting at the centre I've been drawn in and not been disappointed, having thought both Subnautica and Grounded were fantastic. Abiotic Factor's full release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC has just been made known to me as it's been added day one (for the 1.0 release) on both Game Pass and PS Plus Extra. The setting looks like my cup of tea and the mentions of Half-Life when reading up about it have pretty much put it to the top of my list for next game. Shame it comes out a week or so before Grounded 2 early access. I had intended to play that, but I really want to give Abiotic Factor a play so will probably wait for Grounded 2 1.0 to play that game. It's for one to six players. I'll probably play it solo but as is increasingly happening due to barriers between Sony and Microsoft being lowered its cross play, so don't have to worry about starting it on PlayStation (my preferred choice) and not being able to play with my Xbox owning family members. Simundo Budget limitations I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that keeps hoping a new Nintendo Direct will see a new Castlevania annoucement. There's no reason to hope for it except that it seems impossible that it won't happen at some point… but it never does. I understand that finding a developer for it is a difficult, but if MercurySteam aren't available there are plenty of other indie developers that I'm sure would do a good job of it. The main problem is whether Konami is willing to put up the budget to make a good one. Even the best developer can only work with the limits they've got and you have to go back to the PS1 era to find a Castlevania with a decent sized budget. Ingot Fightin' IP I notice there's a lot of licensed beat 'em-ups and fighting games around at the moment, from that Invincible game to a new Marvel fighter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Marvel scrolling beat 'em-ups. I approve of all of this, but I don't particularly like any of the franchises that are getting turned into the games. I'm curious what other people would like to see made into these type of games? I'm sure GC would be happy to see a Transformers game, which I feel could work as either, but somehow that's never been done before. A one-on-one fighter seems like it would be a no-brainer, considering everyone has their own special abilities and weapons and transformations. Or how about a Lord of the Rings beat 'em-up? I really liked the ones EA did when the movies first came out and I'd love something that was able to be a little more tongue in cheek with the franchise. I think the Tolkien family stop that from happening but that'd be my wish, and they did allow the Lego game. Or maybe a Roger Rabbit beat 'em-up? Something that had all sorts of old school animated cartoon characters in it, from Disney, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and so on. I bet companies would love to make those characters relevant again and I'd love to see that kind of thing. I'm going to stop now because I'm already upset that these things are never going to happen. Gable GC: There was a Beast Wars fighting game, but it was rubbish. Modern experiment I like the idea of CD Projekt making a beat 'em-up style game specifically because they're not very good at melee combat usually. I don't know if that'll end up being true, but it seems like a good idea. Considering they've done fantasy and sci-fi so far, I'd like to see them do something set in the current day too, as a change. The longer games take to make the less chance developers have to try new things, because they're always forced to go back to make sequels. Hopefully CD Projekt have enough money and feel this game would be a good experience that will help their others as well. Tyremate Expedition 34 I can't believe we're looking at the possibility where the people that made Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 really might be working on, or at least advising on, Final Fantasy 17. I am 100% behind them being involved but it seems incredible that Square Enix is so out of ideas that they need to rely on someone else that was already paying homage to their games. In case you haven't heard, the developer went and met with Square Enix for an exchange of ideas, or something like that, but it's pretty obvious what they were talking about. At a minimum they must've been discussing the idea of them working on some kind of spin-off but I'm certain the question of Final Fantasy 17 came up as well. I don't think anything has leaked out about it so far, so it can't be very far along, but I would absolutely love to see something that was more in line with the pre-Final Fantasy 7 games. Something turn-based and with a traditional fantasy setting, not sci-fi or the boring Game of Thrones knock-off that was the last game. Who knows how likely it is, but I feel there's now a real chance that Final Fantasy can be exciting again, and not ashamed of its own history. Egon Inbox also-rans Never mind Mario and Peach, what's the deal with Luigi and Daisy? I know her as Luigi's girlfriend but I don't actually remember any games where they're both in it, other than sports ones. Choser GC: We think it might have happened in a Japanese manga or something. We don't recall any game that makes it clear they have a relationship. Never mind Star Wars Outlaws 2, where is the third Star Wars Jedi game? Are we going to have to wait till next Star Wars Day for it to be announced? I think probably.

Luis Diaz leaves Liverpool training camp after £65.5m transfer breakthrough

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich to sell the wantaway Colombia international after the German champions returned with an improved second offer for the 28-year-old Luis Diaz is leaving Liverpool's pre-season tour in Tokyo after the Reds agreed a £65.5m deal with Bayern Munich to sell the wantaway Colombian. ‌ Diaz, 28, has been given permission to leave the club's training camp in Japan to seal a move to the German giants which has been 12 months in the making. ‌ The Reds' No.7 has been pushing for a move to Munich after informing the Reds' hierarchy that he wants to leave this summer. His decision came after the club refused to enter contract negotiations. ‌ Diaz and his representatives have been after a new contract for over a year, believing him to be comparatively underpaid on Merseyside, having still been on the same basic terms since arriving on Merseyside in a £37m move from Porto in January 2022. Diaz had initially hoped to stay at the club, where he was an important figure in last season's Premier League triumph. But Kop bosses had been unwilling to open discussions over an improved deal, given he still had two years remaining on his contract, a decision that led to frustration with Diaz and his representatives, and duly saw them push to depart. Diaz missed Liverpool's 4-2 defeat in a friendly with AC Milan on Saturday as they continue their pre-season tour of Asia. Arne Slot confirmed post-match that Diaz was absent due to his uncertain future but insisted that he's been training well. Following the loss against Milan, Slot was asked if both the 28-year-old and team-mate Darwin Nunez's absences were linked to potential transfers. "In Lucho's situation it was, yeah," the Liverpool boss told reporters. "There are a lot of rumours around it lately and I cannot go into that. But he is training really well with us and we have decided, for now, not to play him yet. "In Darwin's situation, he has trained really well also and played a few good games for us already this pre-season. He was injured so we didn't want to take the risk and it was also the same with Wataru Endo, trained with us all week but we didn't want to take a risk with him either. ‌ Liverpool rejected an opening bid from Bayern worth £58.5m last week. But Vincent Kompany's side have been determined to sign Diaz and are now set to get their man. Bayern made an improved offer of £65.5m over the weekend which Liverpool have now accepted. Bayern boss Kompany spoke to Diaz during a recent video call and outlined his plans for Diaz. The German giants have been desperate to sign a forward after missing out on top target Florian Wirtz - a race won by Liverpool - and having lost both Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller this summer on free transfers. They are also facing a considerable period without Jamal Musiala due to injury. Diaz will depart Anfield having scored 41 goals in 148 appearances for Liverpool.
