FIFA Rivals Lets Players Replay World Cups From 2010 To 2022

Share

Mythical Games has added Legacy World Cup mode to FIFA Rivals, giving players a new way to replay past tournaments before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.


Good to Know

  • FIFA Rivals players can choose World Cup years from 2010 to 2022.
  • Winning a tournament can unlock a Legacy Player from that era.
  • Players can convert FIFA Rivals cards into NFTs and trade them on the Pulse marketplace.

Football History Becomes Playable Content

FIFA Rivals now has a mode built around past World Cups rather than only live competition. Legacy World Cup lets players pick a tournament year, choose a national team, and try to win from the group stage through the final.

The reward system adds the main hook. A successful run can unlock a historic Legacy Player from the chosen era, but players do not know the exact reward in advance. That gives the mode a repeatable feel and gives PvP teams another way to improve.

Mythical Games timed the release with interest building for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. By using official World Cup content, the studio can bring older tournaments, national teams, and past stars into FIFA Rivals over time.

The mode also links into the wider Web3 setup of the game. Any FIFA Rivals player can become an NFT, which then allows trading on the Pulse marketplace. Legacy Players carry added value because they only come through the new World Cup mode.

Mythical Games said:

“The mode gives us a way to turn football history into repeatable live content.”

That line explains the long term plan. Legacy World Cup is not just a short promotional feature. It gives FIFA Rivals a format that can bring football memories back into the game again and again, while keeping players active through new rewards and tournament cycles.
