FIFA 19 offers up multiple journeys to experience
Electronic Arts have released a new video for FIFA 19, which shows off more of The Journey of Alex Hunter, but more than that, it also shows off the journeys for Danny Williams and Kim Hunter.
In FIFA 19, fans can jump into the distinctive stories of all three heroes in The Journey: Champions, the story driven mode that comes to a finale in this year’s game. Take Alex Hunter, Danny Williams, and Kim Hunter through their respective journeys as they reach some of the most significant moments of their careers. Additionally, as their stories intertwine and play out simultaneously, switch between all three characters at any time to change up your experience. Fans can also cross paths with some of the world's most famous footballers, including Neymar Jr., Alex Morgan, Paulo Dybala, Kevin De Bruyne, and more.
All three heroes have already seen successes across their careers, with new challenges arising as they play at the highest levels in football, here is what has happened for each, until now:
As the original star of The Journey, Alex Hunter has already had a rollercoaster of a career in the first two instalments of The Journey. After signing for the Premier League club of his choice, Alex has gone on loan to the English Championship, spent half a season in Major League Soccer, and moved back to Europe to play for one of the continent's biggest clubs. But in The Journey: Champions, Alex has finally secured his dream move: to Spanish footballing giants Real Madrid.
Alex first met Danny Williams during the National Football Academy exit trials, where they didn't really get along. The former rivals bonded as teammates while plying their trade in the second division and eventually become close friends. When Alex leaves for L.A., Danny joins his old club to pick up the slack in Alex’s absence. After a brief scare midway through The Journey: Hunter Returns, Danny fights for his place at the club after a string of solid performances.
Kim Hunter is a young American soccer player with dreams of playing at the highest level of the women’s game—and she’s also Alex’s half-sister. Alex and Kim meet for the first time after Alex joins the LA Galaxy at his father's suggestion. Not long after, Kim gets her first cap for the United States Women’s National Team. Now she's ready to take her career to the next level in The Journey: Champions with a call-up for the Women’s World Cup.
This game mode is not available on the Nintendo Switch version of the game, but is included on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC releases of FIFA 19
