Portuguese world star Cristiano Ronaldo has entered the field of video game investments by pledging his support for the upcoming free-to-play football game UFL. Developed as a rival to EA FC, formerly FIFA, the game can go a long way with this huge investment.
Cristiano Ronaldo invests 40 million dollars in UFL!
The investment, which exceeded 40 million dollars in total, was Ronaldo’s first venture into the gaming market. It is also a crucial opportunity for the UFL to further develop its critically acclaimed gameplay.
Ronaldo’s involvement goes beyond just a financial commitment; The football giant, who has a staggering 614 million followers on Instagram, will actively contribute to shaping the development of the UFL by aligning his efforts with the game’s core mission.
Ronaldo expressed his excitement in his statement, saying, “I am excited to be a part of this project as it could become a new genre in UFL football games.”
UFL is a game developed by Strikerz, a gaming brand operating under XTEN Limited, an international gaming company founded in 2016. With a global team of over 200 people across four regional offices, Strikerz aims to redefine online football simulation gaming through the UFL.
Strikerz CEO Eugene Nashilov emphasized the importance of Ronaldo’s partnership, saying: “Having Cristiano Ronaldo join us as a partner and investor is a significant step forward and a confirmation of our vision to create the leading game for football fans around the world.”
UFL differentiates itself from other football games by focusing on delivering solid gameplay that rewards tactical knowledge and playing skills. The game allows players to build their club from scratch, leading them on a journey to championship status.
In particular, the UFL advocates a philosophy of fair play, prioritizing skill and promoting a more inclusive and competitive playing environment.
While an official release date for UFL has yet to be confirmed, the game will soon go through a closed testing phase. The game is expected to cover PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
