In an announcement that has left sports gaming enthusiasts elated, EA Sports has officially confirmed the imminent return of its College Football Franchise.
According to On3, the gaming giant is all set to release the long-awaited installment next summer, delivering an authentic college football experience that fans and players alike have been eagerly anticipating.
On3’s Pete Nakos reported that a spokesperson from EA Sports informed the media outlet about the company’s resolute decision to proceed with the release plans.
This revelation comes as a relief to many fans who had been eagerly awaiting the franchise’s comeback.
Despite a legal hurdle earlier this year when The Brandr Group accused EA of interfering tortiously by attempting to secure player rights while negotiating group licensing contracts, EA Sports is pressing forward.
In response to the lawsuit, EA Sports filed a motion to dismiss the case, signaling their commitment to bring back the college football experience to gamers around the world.
The spokesperson’s statement indicated the enthusiasm that the company holds for reviving the beloved franchise.
The statement conveyed, “We’re incredibly excited to bring back an authentic college football experience for fans and athletes that have shown such passion for the franchise, and we’re looking forward to delivering it in Summer 2024.”
Although there was speculation that EA would make its return to the college football market in the current summer, the company took the decision to postpone the release until next year.
According to EA Sports, all systems are still on course, assuring fans that the video game will be hitting the shelves as anticipated, ready to provide an immersive college football experience like never before.
