Shapeshifters in FIFA 23 transform footballers into brand-new superstars with different skills, abilities, and playing styles altogether. Even their positions are switched, allowing you to explore fresh, novel squad-building possibilities. The first week of the Shapeshifters event is already underway in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and the event is all set to be available for the next few weeks in the game.
Being one of the biggest promos in the FUT calendar, Electronic Arts (EA) will be releasing many different Shapeshifters squads along with a host of FUT Hero items. Team 1 of Shapeshifters is already live. Here’s all we know about this event.
