EA Sports appears to be developing an unannounced AAA free-to-play online game, according to a new job listing from Electronic Arts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The listing, spotted for a Client Engineer position at EA’s Shanghai studio<\/strong>, specifically mentions work on a \u201cAAA free-to-play online title\u201d alongside ongoing live-service support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While EA has not officially announced the project, the position is connected to the company’s EA Sports <\/a>division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EA Sports Has an Unannounced AAA Free-to-Play Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the job description, the successful candidate will help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cdeliver high-quality features and live-service support for a AAA free-to-play online title.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that description, EA does not identify the game, its sport, platforms or whether it belongs to one of the company’s existing franchises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shanghai location naturally raises the possibility of a mobile project. EA’s operations in China include EA Sports FC Mobile Shanghai Studio<\/strong>, and knowledge of mobile game development is mentioned among the desired qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, mobile development experience is listed as a preferred rather than mandatory skill, meaning there isn’t currently enough information to conclude that the mystery project is exclusively a mobile game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EA’s teams in China also contribute to projects across the wider company, including major franchises such as Apex Legends<\/em> i Battlefield<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could It Be a New EA Sports Game?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That’s the big question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EA Sports already operates some of the biggest annual sports franchises in gaming, including EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, NHL and UFC<\/strong>, while free-to-play games have become an increasingly important part of EA’s wider portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wording of the listing is particularly interesting because it refers to an unannounced AAA title<\/strong>, rather than simply mentioning ongoing development for an established annual release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That could point toward a new entry based on an existing EA Sports property, a free-to-play adaptation of one of its franchises, or potentially something entirely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, however, EA hasn’t provided enough information to determine exactly what the project is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the job listing does reveal is that EA Sports has another AAA free-to-play online project in development<\/strong>, with live-service support planned as a fundamental part of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
