EA Sports College Football 25 is getting a full reveal in May
Electronic Arts confirmed a few years ago that the return of EA Sports College Football would return in the Summer of 2024. Recently, the official EA Sports College X (Twitter) account shared a trailer that teases the full reveal coming in a few months. During the teaser trailer, they show short videos of in-game development and it looks like they are bringing the full college football experience with the mascots, crowd energy, and player assets.
