FIFA Rivals now features a mode focused on past World Cups instead of solely live competition. The Legacy World Cup mode allows players to choose a specific tournament year, pick a national team, and attempt to win from the group stage through to the final.
The reward system serves as the main attraction. A successful run can grant a historic Legacy Player from the selected era, though players do not know the exact reward beforehand. This adds replayability and provides PvP teams with another avenue for progression.
Mythical Games timed this launch to coincide with growing anticipation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. By incorporating official World Cup content, the studio plans to gradually introduce older tournaments, national teams, and legendary players into FIFA Rivals.
The mode also integrates with the broader Web3 ecosystem of the game. Any FIFA Rivals player can convert their cards into NFTs, enabling trading on the Pulse marketplace. Legacy Players hold additional value since they are exclusively obtainable through the new World Cup mode.
Mythical Games stated:
“The mode gives us a way to turn football history into repeatable live content.”
This statement outlines the long-term vision. The Legacy World Cup is not merely a temporary promotional feature. It establishes a format that can repeatedly bring back football memories within the game, while maintaining player engagement through fresh rewards and ongoing tournament cycles.
