Adetomiwa Edun Featured As Alex Hunter In FIFA17 The Journey
Adetomiwa Edun gives his voice and face to the player “Alex Hunter” in the new FIFA17 The Journey story mode play.
Who is Alex Hunter?
Alex Hunter is a 17-year-old multiracial male from Clapham,London . Hunter's grandfather is former English striker Jim Hunter (20 goals in the 1966–67 season). Under his grandfather's guidance, Hunter has decided to play as a footballer in the Premier League the Journey.
The game will feature a new single-player story campaign mode titled The Journey for PS4, Xbox One and Windows where players assume the role of Alex Hunter, a young footballer trying to make his mark in the Premier League . The player will be able to select one of 20 Premier League clubs to play for at the beginning of the season. The player can play any position including goalkeeper. The story mode also features a dialogue wheel , similar to the Mass Effect series.
Hunter, a character inspired by the likes of Raheem Sterling and Andros Townsend, is thrust into the first team and finds himself in the same dressing room as superstar footballers.
At a recent hands-on event, I got to play this scene. In the demo provided by EA, Hunter had signed for Manchester United. We see him and close friend Gareth Walker, who has also signed for Man Utd, looking agog at their names on their shirts in the dressing room. They're proud, excited and scared.

The Journey's story won't just take place on the pitch of course.
