College Football 25 Cover Stars And Release Date Revealed

EA's college football sim is back for a new semester, and it's bringing a trio of student-athletes to the forefront.

6 Comments

EA Sports College Football 25 is easily one of 2024's most anticipated games, and at long last, EA has begun to lift the veil that was hanging over the game, presumed to hit stores in just a few months. The College Football 25 cover stars are here; yes, there are multiple.

Co-starring in the official artwork for the game's reboot (of a sort) are Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter. The trio is likely meant to serve as a big, bright reminder that College Football 25 features real player names and likenesses for the first time in EA's history with the sport (known previously as the NCAA Football series).

Three standout college football athletes grace the cover of EA's much-anticipated return to the genre.

Alongside the cover reveal came a few other details surrounding the game. College Football 25 preorders are now available, with Standard and Deluxe editions available, though an even bigger bundle also exists for football diehards: the EA Sports MVP Bundle, which groups together the Deluxe editions of both College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25 (yes, that's its name) for $150, translating into a savings of $50 for players who may have bought the games separately.

Beyond these high-level details, EA has not said much else yet, but promises more details are coming "tomorrow [May 17] and throughout the summer." EA Sports College Football 25 launches on July 19, with three days of early access available for Deluxe Edition buyers.

EA used to sell gang busters of NCAA at colleges. Then the legal woes with the NCAA came, with student athletes wanting to be paid. Looks like they're paying if they're using direct images on the cover.

Over a decade since the last NCAA game? This might be the much-needed breath of fresh air for the football/sports genre.

@functionalts: It's all stuff for Ultimate Team mode. You also get to play the game three days early.
