Which company developed the first FIFA video game?

The story behind the answer

Extended Play Productions developed the first FIFA video game, FIFA International Soccer.

The studio created the game for Electronic Arts, which published it in 1993 under the EA Sports label. The title was notable for using an isometric viewpoint, giving the action a distinctive angled perspective instead of the side-on presentation common in earlier football games.

EA Canada later became the best-known development studio behind the main FIFA series, which is why players sometimes incorrectly identify it as the developer of the original release. Extended Play Productions was the team credited with creating the first entry before the long-running series moved through different development arrangements.

FIFA International Soccer launched on platforms including the Mega Drive and DOS. It established the official FIFA branding, international teams, and televised-style presentation that became recurring elements of the franchise.
