The highly anticipated College Football video game series returns in July with a cover featuring Texas' Quinn Ewers, Colorado's Travis Hunter, and Michigan's Donovan Edwards.
The world of sports video games has been abuzz with anticipation for the return of the iconic College Football video game series. After an eight-year hiatus, EA Sports announced earlier this year that the beloved franchise would be making a triumphant comeback. Now, the excitement has reached fever pitch as the brand has unveiled the release date and the superstar trio gracing the cover of this year's installment.
Mark your calendars for July 19th, sports fans! That's the official release date for EA Sports College Football 25, the long-awaited return of the college football simulation video game. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S consoles.
The cover of this year's game features three of the brightest stars in college football today:
* Quinn Ewers, quarterback for the Texas Longhorns
* Travis Hunter, cornerback for the Colorado Buffaloes
* Donovan Edwards, running back for the Michigan Wolverines
These three exceptional athletes embody the talent, excitement, and passion that fuels the sport of college football. Ewers is a highly touted recruit who is expected to be a key player for Texas, while Hunter is a lockdown corner who was once considered the top high school prospect in the nation. Edwards, meanwhile, played a pivotal role in Michigan's national championship victory last season, showcasing his speed and agility on the field.
The cover also features images of Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, as well as Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins. Their presence highlights the depth of talent in college football and the excitement surrounding the upcoming season.
The College Football video game series has a rich history dating back to 1993, when it was originally released as Bill Walsh College Football. The game has undergone several name changes over the years, from College Football USA to NCAA Football, before being discontinued in 2014 due to disputes involving EA, the NCAA, and college athletes.
With the advent of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rules in college sports, players can now be compensated for their use in video games. This has allowed the upcoming College Football 25 game to feature the actual names and likenesses of athletes, rather than the generic positions and numbers that were used in previous installments.
EA Sports had initially announced a return of the College Football video game three years ago and even promised a release last summer. However, the game's development was delayed due to various factors. The last cover athlete for the series was Denard Robinson of the Michigan Wolverines.
The return of the College Football video game series is a surefire hit for sports fans everywhere. With its star-studded cover, improved gameplay, and the inclusion of NIL rights, EA Sports College Football 25 is poised to dominate the gaming world this year. Get ready to relive your college football memories or create new ones as you hit the virtual gridiron on July 19th.
