The Journey inspires fans to live their story on and off the pitch as Alex Hunter, the Premier League’s next rising star. Alex’s story is impacted by performance in matches and decisions made by fans off of the pitch, like selecting which of the twenty Premier League clubs Alex signs with to begin his professional career. With a record 20 League titles, Manchester United has been the fan-favorite with 18% of players selecting the Red Devils. Liverpool FC (11%), Leicester City Football Club (11%), Arsenal (10%), and West Ham United (8%) round out the top five. No matter the club, there’s been no shortage of silverware for Alex Hunter, with fans winning more than 560,000 Premier League titles and more than 1 million FA Cup titles.

Currently, The Journey mode is available in English with subtitles in several languages. It will be able to be played in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Mexican Spanish in a title update scheduled to be released this fall.
