EA Confirms Release of College Football 25: Excitement Builds for Return of NCAA Football

After months of rumors, EA has officially confirmed that College Football 25 will be released this summer. The last NCAA college football game was launched in 2014, but legal issues surrounding player likeness forced the series into a hiatus. However, with the introduction of the New Name Image and Likeness (NIL) rules, college athletes can now earn money through marketing and promotional sponsorships.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting an official announcement from EA, and although there was speculation that it would be made during the 2024 NCAA Championship, no announcement was made at that time. But now, the wait is finally over. EA Sports College Football 25 Twitter/X account has added an official logo and confirmed that the game will be released in the summer of 2024, with a full reveal scheduled for May.

The first trailer for College Football 25 showcased pre-rendered footage of various teams and stadiums, including the Penn State mascot leading the team onto the field, TCU's stadium, and Notre Dame's famous 'Play Like A Champion Today' sign. The trailer also provided a glimpse of the Alabama and Michigan State mascots in action. The Rose Bowl stadium was featured in the trailer, and the actor hinted at the inclusion of other stadiums such as LSU and Ohio State's Big House. EA also shared footage of their motion capture technology being used to recreate NCAA football jerseys.

While fans will have to wait a little longer for a full look at the game, the confirmation of its release has generated excitement among college football enthusiasts. The return of the beloved NCAA football series, combined with the opportunity for college athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness, marks a significant milestone in the world of college sports.
