For two decades, EA SPORTS entertained millions of fans by
recreating the unparalleled pageantry of college football. The EA
SPORTS college football franchise was a consistent top-five sports
title in North America during its previous run, generating tens of
millions unit sales from 2005-2014. In recent years, college
football has been one of the most-requested games by fans from EA
SPORTS, and today EA is confirming plans for its official
return.
"We’ve heard from the millions of passionate fans requesting the
return of college football video games,” said Cam Weber, EA SPORTS
EVP and GM. “We love the energy, tradition and pageantry of college
football and I am beyond thrilled to say we are back in
development. We have a lot of really exciting work ahead of us, and
a great team that is eager to bring a new game to players in the
next couple of years.”
“We’re very excited to collaborate with EA SPORTS to bring back
the college football franchise, one of the most popular collegiate
licensed products in our history,” said Cory Moss, CLC CEO. “The
college football video game connects passionate fans to college
brands and introduces new fans to the storied traditions,
excitement, and game day experience that make college football
unique.”
The new franchise will deliver authentic college football
experiences and the high quality gameplay that fans have long loved
in college football games from EA SPORTS. Through the CLC
partnership, the franchise will include the rights to more than 100
institutions featuring the logos, stadiums, uniforms, gameday
traditions and more that fans have come to know and love. While
this college game will not include student-athlete names, images
and likenesses, EA SPORTS is continuing to watch those developments
closely.
EA SPORTS reaches players all around the globe, and in the past
year introduced six new console and PC experiences, as well as
ongoing live service offerings on PC and mobile. EA SPORTS
franchises delivered sports entertainment to millions of fans with
an array of authentic, deep experiences that brought players closer
to the sports, teams, and leagues that they love. The return of its
most requested franchise will only accelerate momentum and player
excitement.
EA SPORTS will reveal more about the new college football
franchise and related product launch timings in the future. To stay
