Kylian Mbappé returns to star on EA Sports FC 27 cover

The world's most famous footballer is back on the front of the world's most famous football game. EA Sports has tapped Kylian Mbappé as the cover star for EA Sports FC 27's Ultimate Edition, per VGC.

This marks a high-profile homecoming for the French striker. He was last featured as the cover athlete on FIFA 23, the final game in the series before its rebranding to EA Sports FC.

The move reconnects one of the sport's biggest global stars with the franchise's biggest annual release, landing him on the premium edition box just as he settles into his new club, Real Madrid.
