GnuPG / GPG how create an EdDSA key !? [ SOLVED ]

I've seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg
gpg --full-gen-key
and it's supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only
Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?\
gpg --version show:
...
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
...
