Highlights Gamers who pre-order the Ultimate Edition by August 20 will receive an Origin Hero item available on day one.
13 new Heroes are arriving, including players like Eden Hazard, Jamie Carragher, and Blaise Matuidi.

EA Sports FC 25 is nearly here. As one of the most eagerly anticipated games of the year, the football game is continuing to evolve, encapsulated by drama, intrigue and chaos. There are countless new features coming to the game, which EA Sports hopes will improve it from EAFC 24.
As part of this, Heroes play a major role in Ultimate Team. They have unique league-specific chemistry which is tied to their specific hero moment, providing a green club link to any player within the same league as well as the typical nation link. Meanwhile, for the first time ever, all players who pre-order the Ultimate Edition of EAFC 25 by the 20th August will receive a day-one ‘Origin Hero’ item available from early access launch, which will automatically upgrade to a ‘Prime Hero’ item on the 28th November.
“It can be a well-timed challenge, a gut-busting run, a last-minute winner or anything in-between, hero status amongst the fans is a badge of honour for any footballer,” said Charlie Villiers, a Senior Director at EA Sports. “With this year’s incredible set of Heroes launching in Ultimate Team this September, we wanted to capture the moments that signalled their commitment to the club and celebrate these players’ journeys to cement hero status.” They have introduced 13 new Heroes to the game — and we have provided details on every single one.

Elegance. Sophistication. Beauty. Three words which could comfortably describe Eden Hazard’s talent on the ball, as he eluded defenders with his composed dribbling. If anything, as he weaved his way into the final third, it symbolised his own path in his career, turning from history at Lille to becoming one of Chelsea’s greatest players of all time.

While in West London, Hazard evolved from a talented prospect who was still raw to a Premier League champion — carving through opponents and blazing his own trail to glory.

Not only is Jamie Carragher one of Liverpool’s best players ever, but he is arguably one of the greatest centre-backs of all time. Although the defender supported Everton whilst growing up, his career in Merseyside felt like a dream at times, making over 700 appearances for them. His rise was punctuated by one of the greatest comebacks in football history, where Carragher helped the Reds erase a 3-0 deficit and lift the Champions League trophy against AC Milan.
