Mythical Games unveils Legacy World Cup mode
Mythical Games has introduced a new Legacy World Cup mode in FIFA Rivals, timed just before World Cup 2026. Players can engage in tournaments from 2010 to 2022, facing off against AI to earn historic players.
This mode employs a ticket system. Users select a tournament year and national team, aiming to navigate through from the group stage to the finals. Success means unlocking a Legacy Player from the chosen era, who can enhance their main PvP team, although the exact player isn’t guaranteed.
All players won in this mode hold value, as they’re exclusive to Legacy World Cup. Those seeking further utility can convert any FIFA Rivals player into an NFT and list it on the Pulse marketplace.
Legacy mode’s design also positions FIFA Rivals strategically, being one of only two FIFA titles with the official World Cup license. This feature not only connects players to football history but sets the stage for ongoing content updates. More tournaments, nations, and historical figures can be integrated over time, making Legacy mode a potential long-term retention tool rather than a mere promotional feature.
As Mythical Games stated, “The mode gives us a way to turn football history into repeatable live content.”
