There aren’t many offerings for soccer fanatics on the video game front. For front office tinkerers, the life-draining Football Manager is a fantastic option, albeit the only real one. FIFA and PES have dueled for years over player-controlled supremacy, though FIFA has stagnated dramatically over the past three years and PES still lacks so many licenses.

Other than lackluster mobile options that’ll get you through a patch of boredom on an airplane, there isn’t much else. The shortlived FIFA Street franchise was nice, but it hasn’t existed since the fourth iteration came out in the first quarter of 2012 on the previous generation of consoles.

That’s why these gorgeously rendered photos of a street soccer court in Brazil play on the imagination to such a tantalizing degree. They’re titled “RIO” in the Imgur folio, so we know the specifics of that, at least.

Redditor redrad56 posted these on Reddit’s r/gaming on Friday, and hot damn are these just some of the greatest things you’ll see all week.

We aren’t entirely sure what these correlate to, beyond the OP’s description of this as the first completed map for “my game.” He also responded to one question as to what these are with an excitement-building deferral: “Not right now , but I will be back later on this month , with way more information for everybody.”

He did delve into a bit more detail here.

We are going for a more fun experience , so expect it to be a bit more arcadey(is this even a word). The controls will be simple as well. There will also be no yearly release. So it wont be like football game 2015/2017 etc.

And here.

Current plans are for it be 5 v 5 , 3v3. We are looking to get a playable build out , and then let people test out the game and guide us in development. I usually post a lot of features that I would like to have , but for now I’ve decided to tone it down , so as not to over promise and fail to deliver. If you go through my old posts here , and here , you can see the type of direction I was going in. I will be posting a bigger update later on this month.

Certainly sounds Street-y, no?

That means this is definitely tied to a real project with a real end-goal, which we should learn more about later this December. Could this be a current-gen FIFA Street iteration under a different banner? Or maybe something else? Either way, stay tuned. This looks tremendous already.
