After the release of PlayStation-5 in May 2020. The appetite for the release of the newest version of the most popular game on consoles gets even bigger. Both PES and FIFA are the leading footballing game played worldwide. However, the knack to play FIFA by the majority is getting more exciting with the new PlayStation in town.

With the anticipation of the new FIFA game beginning to build, the launch of the next FIFA game - FIFA 21 - is coming in 2020 and, as EA Sports boffins work on the finer details, eager gamers already have it on their wish list.

The launch of the next FIFA game - FIFA 21 - is coming in 2020

Of course, the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the entire world and industries everywhere have been impacted, including football, so it remains to be seen exactly how much the new game will be affected.

EA Sports has been drip-feeding bits of information though. But few things such as the next FIFA release date, how much it will cost and the player transfer might just be a way of salivating the gamers for the impending FIFA 21 in the game market.

Traditionally, EA sport usually releases its newer version in late September owing to the closure of all transfer deadline in early September. But this newer version of EA Sport FIFA-21 has been pushing back to the middle of October 2020.

The Covid-19 crisis has left things somewhat hanging on the balance when it comes to when the business of transfers can begin. The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 changed life as we know it and football has not been absolutely absolved from it, with the beautiful game being ground to a halt across the world.

The game's administrators, from FIFA to continental confederations and national associations, worked together in an attempted salvage what they could of the 2019-20 season.

Space was made in the calendar with the postponement of the European Championship and Copa America until next year, which allowed leagues to restart in earnest in June.

However, the business of the beautiful game is much affected as the traditional way of conducting the business of the beautiful game have been hampered. As the likes of Timo Werner who recently signed for the Blues cannot participate any longer in the latter stage of the UEFA Champions League. But he big Turbo would have kept his place in RB Leipzig squad despite signing for the London Club in May.

The buying and selling of players during transfer windows are one of the most heated and anticipated processes of the beautiful sport

The buying and selling of players during transfer windows are one of the most heated and anticipated processes of the beautiful sport, with clubs eager to boost their options or offload the team dead woods.

In these unprecedented circumstances, FIFA conceded that changes would have to be made to the normal schedule regarding transfer registration periods and contracts.  At the look of things clubs in the Premier League are getting more deals done. Having completed a few deals already, it’s yet to be seen who could be moving to the Premier League before the window closes?

So, with coronavirus-enforced delays in mind, the traditional stipulated for the business of transfer for the beautiful game, which usually starts from the first day of June and ends on 3rd of September has been disregarded in this summer transfer window.

Although, each league has a different version of the transfer opening days the deadline day is the same across the major leagues in the world of football globally. October 5, 2020, has been decided by the World governing body of Football, FIFA (Federation of International Football Association) as the deadline day for the transfer as UEFA have made October 6, 2020, as the deadline day for each team participating in the European continental competition to submit the list of their participating players.

However, with the change in the transfer deadline policies, will there be a close cutoff date between the end of the European summer transfer windows and the release of FIFA 21, will recent transfers appear? More also, star-studded transfers are sure to unfold across Europe, with the summer transfer window's end having been pushed back a month due to the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak. But could this summer's transfers be included in the release of FIFA 21, which will be launched this October?

Could this summer's transfers be included in the release of FIFA 21, which will be launched this October?

Deals that were completed in the beginning stages of the transfer window, such as Werner to Chelsea or Leroy Sane to Bayern etc. would likely already be in the game, while fresher transfers could be added with each update. But, those who decide to pre-order the hard copy of the game are sure to have the least updated version of transfers in the system.

EA Sports have updated their summer transfers on their system through free regular updates in previous iterations of the game, stating ahead of the release of FIFA 19.

"With the Summer Transfer Market in full swing, we have commenced moving players from their old squads to their new ones. Over the course of the next few months, as player transfers are approved in the real-world we will make those same changes in FIFA Ultimate Team.

"We will make these changes as quickly as possible, so expect multiple updates throughout the course of the transfer window.

Obviously, the impact of the unprecedented summer transfer window has affected the traditional way of conducting the business of the beautiful sport transfer policies. But the question remains that “will summer transfers be added to FIFA 21? Or will it not be added?”

But is certain that the traditional release of the EA Sports FIFA newer version have been affected and shifted to the middle of October owing to the fact that the summer transfer window has been shifted. But the regular update of the FIFA-21 could be used to its full effect to update the transfers that could not be updated prior to the release of the FIFA-21 on October 9.
