In what seems to be an effort to apologize to PC gamers for not wanting to bring the new EA Sports Ignite engine to the new PC sports titles, EA Sports is instead making a free downloadable soccer title for the platform.
The game is going to be called FIFA World and will feature "EA Sports FIFA HD console gameplay, FIFA Ultimate Team and Seasons, and over 30 officially licensed leagues."
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot the most important bit here. It's only coming out in Brazil and Russia.
Well, I guess all of our Brazilian and Russian readers will be thrilled to hear about this? Look for it in November.

FIFA World will be available free* to soccer fans and gamers in Brazil and Russia with a broadband internet connection and an average spec laptop computer or desktop personal computer. The new game will be built around FIFA Ultimate Team, the most popular game mode within EA SPORTS FIFA that reflects the best recent real-world performances of the world’s best players. In Ultimate Team, fans have the freedom to build their own unique squads to play their own style of soccer, re-shaping their teams based on the real-world performances of their favorite players.
