FC 26 Future Stars Team 2 players and release countdown

The first set of leaks for Team 2 of the Future Stars promo has started appearing online, and FC 26 players could expect some fantastic cards in the days to come.

EA Sports has remained tight-lipped about week two, and we have the first week of cards currently available in Ultimate Team. These cards will be replaced soon with the new additions, so let’s look at which names are expected to be part of the promo.

All FC 26 Future Stars Team 2 players (leaked)

The list of leaked players for now is small, but more names are expected to appear closer to the release.

• Vuskovic
• Pele
• Antonio Silva
• Dani Olmo
• Doumbia

Of the leaked names so far, Doumbia and Olmo are expected to arrive as Flashback items. Like the first week, Team 2 will have special cards for active footballers and former legends. The cards released via SBCs and objectives will be easier to obtain as there’s no element of luck. The Future Stars SBCs released so far have been significantly cheaper compared to what we had during TOTY.

Upcoming sci-fi title Menace could be a fun game to try out, especially if you love turn-based tactical battles.

Developed by Overhype Studios, Menace is made by the same folks who gave us Battle Brothers. This guide will help you keep track of the upcoming launch if you’re interested in trying the game out.

Menace release countdown

Menace will go live worldwide on Thursday, Feb. 5. It will be exclusively available on PC due to its (likely) early access state. The following countdown will expire once it goes live.

The countdown above is based on the following timings.

• 6am PT
• 8am ET
• 9am CT
• 2pm UTC
• 3pm CET

The timings mentioned here are based on the information available on SteamDB. Any change will be duly updated in this guide. As of writing, there’s no way to pre-order Menace, but you can wishlist it on Steam.

What to expect from Menace

Menace puts you in charge of a band of marines, mercenaries and criminals in a distant system cut off from the core Worlds. Your ‘army’ will have to faceoff against warlords, corrupted organizations, and governments to gain the upper hand.

The core gameplay will center around a turn-based tactical approach, which is pretty similar to Battle Brothers. However, the theme and change of environment will need you to adjust your tactics accordingly. While you won’t be fighting directly on the field, every decision depends on you. From choosing requests to sending dispatches to control what your army does on the field – everything depends on you.

It will be interesting to find out if Menace could turn out to be one of the best tactical turn-based titles in 2026. It has been sometime since we have had a big hit in this genre.
