A closer look at World Championships DLC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Several mechanics originally planned for FTGW have become part of the next DLC. I’ve decided to provide a recap and share some links for those who may have missed the announcements.

If you're unsure what to expect from the next DLC, the following articles detail the main (though not all) new features:

New Mechanics Overview

🌍 1) Footballer nationalities and national team tournaments

Since that article was written, a few things have changed:

  • The World Championship will feature 32 nations in the final stage.

  • If you select too few countries on each continent for the world simulation, the World Cup will be disabled.

  • However, we are introducing a new, much faster way to simulate countries. I'll share more details on this in the coming weeks.

  • The original article mentions using the existing country rankings for seeding. However, we’ve since decided that a dedicated national team ranking system is necessary. This will be included in the game, and I'll cover it in a separate news update.

  • The article also states there would be no limit on the number of foreign players in a squad. However, we have decided to introduce a limit that you can configure before starting a campaign. We believe that limiting the number of foreigners makes the late-game more engaging.

👔 2) National team management

🔄 3) Footballer loan mechanics

📺 4) Watch any match in the game world

🎯 5) New board objectives

⚙️ 6) New options to increase difficulty

The final article mentions a new scouting system and hidden footballer profiles; however, this system will not be included in the upcoming DLC as it requires further development.

Final Words

These are not the only features coming in the next DLC. It will also include automated transfer searching, a significantly reworked world simulation and AI system, new countries, and numerous minor tweaks.

However, the linked articles provide an in-depth look at how the primary new mechanics will function.

The DLC is arriving very soon, so don’t forget to add it to your Wishlist:
