In a significant departure from expectations, Electronic Arts has revised its financial outlook downwards for the fiscal year 2025. Originally projected to earn between $7.4–7.7 billion, the company has now adjusted this figure to $7–7.15 billion. This substantial reduction comes after both EA Sports FC and Dragon Age: The Veilguard failed to meet sales expectations.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Underperformance

Sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard reportedly missed projections by nearly 50%, engaging only about 1.5 million players in the quarter. EA stated that the game’s performance significantly contributed to the revised financial outlook.

EA Sports FC’s Decline

Prior to this decline, the Global Football franchise had enjoyed two years of double-digit growth. However, EA indicated that it has now faced a slowdown this fiscal year. CEO Andrew Wilson commented on the situation, saying:

“During Q3, we continued to deliver high-quality games and experiences across our portfolio. However, Dragon Age and EA Sports FC 25 underperformed our net bookings expectations.”

Despite the disappointing performance, Wilson remains optimistic about the future, asserting that they expect a return to growth in FY26.

Market Reaction

Following the announcement of this adjusted revenue forecast, EA’s share price saw a notable drop. The financial details are expected to be further elaborated upon when the company releases its full third-quarter results on February 4.
