EA has announced that FIFA 09 will release October 3rd for PS3, 360, Wii, PC, PS2, PSP, DS and mobile platforms.

The annual footy title will boast over 250 improvements from last year’s edition, including a 20 player online mode.

Much to our surprise, we preferred last year’s FIFA to our usual soccer-darling Pro Evolution Soccer when we put them head to head back in Issue 3. And with UEFA Euro 2008 making further improvements in the meantime, we’re quietly confident FIFA will retain its footy crown when it launches this October.
