Madden 25 2024 release date
- Madden 25 has no confirmed release date.
- Rumours and predictions suggest it will be released on August 16, 2024.
The Madden 25 release date is right around the corner. Players are loving Madden 24 right now, but there’s still a limited amount of time they will play it. As is the nature of all sports games, the yearly release model means one game can only last one year before it becomes secondary to a newer one. As one might expect, Madden 25 will be an upgrade to the previous game. Whatever it’s called, it is coming very soon to supplant the current edition. When is that going to be?
Madden 25 release date prediction
Madden NFL 25, is rumoured to be released on August 16, 2024.This follows the same trend that all Madden games have in the past. The NFL new season begins kicking into high gear around that time, so EA Sports comes in right before then to capitalize. This has been a tried and true method for the history of Madden, and they’re unlikely to change it.
There is no confirmation that Madden 25 will be its name. In fact, it’s probable that it’s not. Madden 25, technically speaking, came out in 2013 to mark the 25-year anniversary. It had Detroit Lions star Barry Sanders on the cover. There wasn’t a ton of planning ahead done here, but the bill has officially come due. Whatever the newest Madden ends up being called, it is expected to be released summer 2024, in advance of the NFL’s preseason and training camp.
When is Madden 25 in 2024 coming out?
The official release date has not yet been revealed, nor the official title, butit is extremely like Madden 25 will be out in August 2024.That means you have until then to continue enjoying Madden 24. There will potentially be beta versions earlier and it’s very likely that an early access period will be given, but the official release date will be on a Friday presumably in mid-August just like Madden 24’s release date.
✓ Good to know
Will the game be called Madden 25?
Madden 25 will all but certainly be named something else. The original version was called “Madden NFL 25” but, like all Madden games, was shortened to Madden 25 by pretty much everyone. Thus, removing the NFL from the next title and making it strictly “Madden 25” won’t work. They will have to include the year or something, and “Madden 2025” makes the most sense, even if the title doesn’t match the rest of the franchise. They could also introduce a word to the title to differentiate, but “Madden 2025” makes more sense.
You have roughly six months or so to continue playing Madden 24. Even when the regular season and playoffs end in February, there’s still time to enjoy MUT sets and more updates as the game goes right up to the next one’s arrival. The developers ensure that Madden players won’t be left in the dust for any amount of time.
Madden 25 cover athlete predictions
Madden 25 will likely have a modern star on the cover. The older game was a celebration of the franchise, so they added an NFL legend. That more than likely won’t be the case this time, but there are plenty of good options for the next title:
- Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles QB
- Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers HB
- Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams DE
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals QB
- Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings WR
- Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs TE
- Sauce Gardner, New York Jets CB
- CJ Stroud, Houston Texans QB
- Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers QB
- Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers QB
- Jalen Carter, Philadelphia Eagles DT
- Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins WR
- Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys QB
Lamar Jackson has been on the cover before, but he’s about to win his second MVP award, so there’s a strong chance he gets put on the cover this time again.
What platforms will Madden 25 be available on?
It makes the most sense that Madden 25 will be released on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, but it could be available on both next-gen systems. It also would stand to reason that fans who play on the older console generations will mostly be able to play this game.
Did Madden 25 already come out?
Yes, Madden 25 came out in 2013 to mark the 25th anniversary of the franchise. Now that the game is going into its “2025” version, it’s coming out again, but more than likely under a new title.
Madden 25 gameplay and new features
As you might expect, this is a game all about American Football. You will play as teams from large rosters and control players through matches to win, much like any other sports game you’ve played. As it stands, there is still no word on Madden 25 from the developers, which means we don’t know what new improvements are going to be present in this new version of the game. Whatever the title ends up being for Madden 25, it is expected to be released next summer in advance of the NFL’s preseason and training camp.
