One of my most anticipated games of 2026, Copa City, has shared a new gameplay trailer that takes a quick yet deep dive into the various systems in the soccer match day management sim. In the abbreviated clip, we get a glimpse at the weeks of preparation taking place before a match between Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal. The clock is ticking as you deal with unexpected challenges that arise and require you to think quickly on your feet.
In Copa City, time is your enemy as you manage all aspects of game management and preparation. Shape the fan experience by building restaurants, set-up sponsorship zones with entertainment options, manage security operations, hire staff, and most importantly, ensure everything goes off without a hitch. No pressure whatsoever.
As someone who used to manage sport facilities and events for a living, this is giving me massive flashbacks. Perhaps even a bit of PTSD. Nevertheless, I can’t wait to get my hands on Copa City when it launches March 26th, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
