What Is FIFA 23's Journey Mode?

The Journey, whose first chapter launched in FIFA 17, is known as the first FIFA story mode, focusing on a single character's career through player choices and real match gameplay. Thanks to cutscenes built with the power of the Frostbite game engine, players got to experience Alex Hunter's story. The story continued in FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 as well. Whether the mode that told the story of Alex Hunter's life and career will be in FIFA 23 is a big question mark.

Will FIFA 23's Journey Mode Return?

FIFA 23 is known to be focusing on more general modes like Career Mode, VOLTA, and Ultimate Team. It looks like we won't see Alex Hunter, who has been absent from consoles for a few years, in FIFA 23 either. Because, as we just mentioned, the new game is expected to focus on more general modes, so it's suggested that a story mode similar to The Journey won't be released anytime soon.
