Following multiple leaks and an official reveal date, Electronic Arts has finally released the first trailer. The video also confirmed that the latest entry in the long-running series is coming out on December 2, 2022, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Those who pre-order the game will get three days of early access and exclusive items.
