Update on EA Sports College Football video game 2024 release date
Amid constant speculation over when EA Sports will finally release its highly-anticipated College Football video game, the company has dropped us an important hint about when the game will finally hit the shelves.
EA Sports recently updated its biography on X (formerly Twitter), saying that the game is "Coming this summer," and noting that a full reveal will come in May.
EA Sports originally planned for OneTeam Partners to broker deals with players to include their name, image, and likeness in the planned game.
But then The Brandr Group responded by filing suit this past summer to stop EA from doing deals with players and schools. Brandr settled with OneTeam Partners in November and ultimately dropped the suit against EA.
EA last issued its popular college football video game more than a decade ago, back in 2013, after which the company announced that it was discontinuing the game.
That decision followed a court ruling that forced EA Sports to pay compensation to athletes who had previously been included in the product but were not paid.
Then, after the creation of the new NIL rules two years ago, EA went public by announcing that the game would return at some point in the future.
Now, we have a clearer idea of when in the future that will happen.
