FIFA 23: Will 'The Journey' Return?


FIFA 23 is just around the corner, with a host of leaks and rumours already surfacing regarding the brand new game.

With fans eagerly scanning for news, a question has emerged amongst the community: will 'The Journey' return?

We've got you covered as to whether you'll be taking to pitch as Alex Hunter once more in FIFA 23.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like 'The Journey' will be making a triumphant return in FIFA 23.

Alex Hunter has been away from our consoles for a few years and whilst not everyone was a fan of the mode, we still think there was merit in some of the ideas.

With FIFA 23 set to further deep-dive into established modes such as Career Mode, VOLTA and Ultimate Team, it's almost certain that this year's game will not feature a story mode akin to 'The Journey'.

What is 'The Journey'?

'The Journey' was a narrative-based mode that featured in FIFA 17, FIFA 18 and FIFA 19, implementing story elements in the franchise for the very first time.

The multi-game story covered the life and career of Alex Hunter, a budding England international who became a global superstar.

Whilst the mode wasn't a huge hit amongst fans, it certainly permitted EA to be more creative in their approach and added a much-needed distraction from online play.
