After more than a month of celebrating the Team of the Season promotion in EA FC 25's FUT game mode, the developers have already launched the next highly anticipated event—one that’s sure to excite a lot of fans.
EA has decided to bring back the fan-favorite Shapeshifters promotion, known from previous years. And this time, the player pool has been expanded with some true stars—so it’s once again time to start hunting for new cards!
Another unique aspect of the Shapeshifters promo is that it brings back the thrilling gameplay twists that characterized similar events in the past. Player roles and positions are radically transformed, making the event as unpredictable as it is exciting.
In addition, the promotion introduces a wave of new high-rated cards to Ultimate Team. Let’s dive into the details.
While the list of “newcomers” might still change slightly, the details so far have been shared by the always reliable FUT Sheriff Twitter account. And since this source has never been wrong before, there’s little reason to doubt the following:
Fans will be able to unlock the following Heroes, Icons, and regular players:
For those who are new to the EA FC 25 FUT game mode, it’s important to emphasize: the core idea behind Shapeshifters is to shake up the standard rules of the game.
That’s because players are placed in completely unconventional positions—ones they’ve never played in real life and are not typically associated with. Other changes may apply as well, but the main theme is transformation and surprise.
For example, Jonathan Tah will be available as a goalkeeper, even though he is a tall central defender in real life. Similarly, Harry Kane, the star striker for Bayern Munich and the England national team, will be moved to midfield—a bold and unorthodox choice.
Like most EA FC 25 FUT promotions, Shapeshifters Team 1 launches on a Friday—specifically, June 13, in the early evening hours.
As the name suggests, this is only the first installment. More teams are expected to be released in the coming weeks. In fact, in-game objectives confirm that this will be at least a three-week-long promotion.
