Darts sensation Luke Littler stirs controversy with cryptic social media statement, hinting at potential retirement.
In a surprising turn of events, 18-year-old darts sensation Luke Littler has collaborated with EA Sports FC for the launch of EA Sports FC 26. This unexpected partnership has led to an intriguing advertisement that has left fans guessing about Littler's future plans.
The advertisement portrays Littler as a retiree in a retirement home, surrounded by EA FC characters. Despite his seemingly retired persona, Littler's only words in the ad are a motivational message: "Take time to do the things you love."
Fans had to wait a day later to get the full picture about Littler's plans. On September 18, Littler released a video announcing he was 'taking a step back' from darts. However, contrary to what his video suggested, Littler is not retiring from darts.
In the video, Littler mentioned his successful career, including his debut in the Premier League at 17, his nine-darter on television, and winning the World Championships at 18, making him the youngest to ever do so. He thanked his fans for their support over the last two years and expressed his desire to do something he truly loves.
Littler is a Manchester United supporter and a fan of football and EA FC video games, particularly FIFA. His partnership with Xbox UK for the launch of EA Sports FC 26 is a testament to his passion for the game.
Interestingly, Littler takes his Xbox on the road with him, even when he's abroad. When he's not competing in darts, he tends to treat himself with virtual items from EA FC video games due to not having a driver's license.
Despite the mystery surrounding his current plans, Littler's video suggested that the announcement was a publicity stunt. The ad features Littler, Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle), and other EA FC characters playing the new football game.
As of early 2025, Littler surpassed the million-pound mark in darts earnings. However, there is no further information provided about what Littler plans to do instead of darts.
In conclusion, while Luke Littler's collaboration with EA Sports FC has left fans speculating about his future, it is clear that he is still passionate about darts and football, and he continues to make history in the world of sports.
