FC 26 Pro Open Mystery Nation revealed (Matchday 8)

Pro Open Matchday 8 brings a fresh Mystery Nation objective to complete, and you can gain rewards for doing so in FC 26 Ultimate Team.

Like the last seven matchdays, the trick is to solve the mystery nation. While EA Sports will ultimately reveal the nation, I believe that the community will once again decode it first. Let’s look at how to complete the objective.

Disclaimer: The Mystery Nation is Ivory Coast.

How to complete the FC 26 Pro Open Mystery Nation (Matchday 8)

Let’s first look at the official description of the new objective that’s now live in Ultimate Team.

Score 3 goals using Finesse Shot with a player from the mystery nation in any UT game mode. The name of the nation will be hinted at during the broadcast of FC Pro Open Matchday 8.

The first task is to decipher the mystery nation, which can be any country from around the globe. Countries that have already appeared previously as part of the objective can be excluded. I will be adding the name once the correct answer becomes public.

Then, pick a card from the same nation and put him/her in a squad. To finish the objective, score three goals with a finesse shot. You can do the objective in any Ultimate Team mode, and across multiple games if required. Hence, don’t stress about trying to score three goals together in a single game.

Here are the rewards you’ll get from completing the objective.

• Premium Electrum Players Pack
• Coin boost for five games

It’s always useful to get free packs before the full TOTY promo drops in packs. Yesterday, we took a trip to Africa, with the nation being Nigeria. It will be interesting to find out which is the correct nation and continent on Matchday 8.

Upcoming title Bladesong could become the next unique adventure for you in January when the game goes live on PC.

What to expect from Bladesong

If you’ve been playing video games for as many years as I have, you must have used plenty of swords. In Bladesong, you can craft swords without any limits. Thanks to its modular crafting system, you can craft a sword of any design, shape, and size.

With warriors and nobles seeking your services, you’ll have to meet specific needs and expectations. Making a sword will be easy, but giving it shape and turning it into a masterpiece won’t be so simple. You’ll also have to discover secrets in Eren Keep as you spend most of your time smithing the next perfect sword.

There’s a Campaign mode available for those who want to enjoy a narrative journey. Alternatively, you can simply try out your imagination in the Creative mode. If you want to check out the core gameplay, a free demo is available on Steam.
