A new type of Icon is set to come to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, and anyone can reportedly get them
As we come towards the end of FIFA 23’s lifecycle, EA Sports is looking to end FIFA Ultimate Team on a high with the release of Cover Star Icons.
FIFA 23 is the final instalment of EA’s popular FIFA series, with the publisher now moving forward and putting all its attention into its new game, EA FC 24. Part of the new EA Sports FC series, EA FC 24 is set to have some big changes made in Career Mode, Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team, and it seems one of the final ever FIFA 23 promos in the latter is going to be one of the best.
EA will honour the FIFA series by releasing Cover Star Icons, a set of upgraded Icon items for the players who have featured on a cover of a FIFA title in the past. And unlike the Futties promo which is currently available in FUT, these items are set to only be released as SBCs and Objectives!
When I think of a FIFA cover star, my mind immediately goes to Lionel Messi, who appeared on the cover of the game from FIFA 13 to FIFA 16. But the Argentine will not be able to receive a Cover Star Icon because, like the name suggests, only Icons qualify for the promo.
