EA announces FIFA Street 4

Early next year, built by FIFA team.

EA has announced FIFA Street during its Gamescom 2011 press conference.

It's due out early 2012 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Technically this is the fourth FIFA Street game, although the number has been dropped from the title.

The "all-new FIFA Street game" is in development at EA Canada in Vancouver - where FIFA proper is made. This will be the first time the FIFA team has built a Street spin-off.

FIFA Street will have twice as many moves as FIFA 12, and use the same clever physics engine from that game. A feature called Street Ball Control will bring aerial skills as well as on-the-floor tricks to the table.

There will be one-on-one battles up to five-on-five tournaments. Extra modes and online options will be detailed in the future.

FIFA Street uses EA Sports Football Club. EA Sports Season Ticket holders get full game digital download early access.

The first gameplay video showed bright visuals but none of the caricature style of FIFA Street 3.
