Electronic Arts have officially announced the release of FIFA 12, the next in their long-lived series of (real) football games. While the title was no doubt inevitable, it no doubt will be the most anticipated video gaming experience for fans of the biggest sport on the planet, and EA are by no means resting on their laurels when it comes to improving the game.

Footy fans can check out the details on our FIFA 12 game page, which has all the details as well as a slew of sweet screenshots.

As if that wasn't enough, a while back we managed to snag some time with the Aaron McHardy, the Gameplay Producer on FIFA 12, to sneakily ask some questions about this huge new title, and he was kind enough to answer all our questions about the major new features of the game and what else we can expect. Check out our interview as well as the brand new announcement trailer! Big thanks to fpot, one of our resident footy game experts, for his help on this one.
