EA says college football will return, although the release date for PCs is yet unknown.

Electronic Arts hasn't released an official college football game since 2013. At that time, the last game in the EA Sports NCAA Football series was published, featuring quarterback Denard Robinson of the University of Michigan on the cover. Any hints of a new NCAA college football game have since encountered legal challenges in the US judicial system. That is no longer the case, as EA announced today that EA Sports College Football, a brand-new college football game, is now in development.

One of the main questions that a lot of PC gamers may be wondering is, "Will EA Sports College Football come to PC?" The press release now states that there will be consideration for a launch that isn't limited to consoles.

Cam Weber, EVP and general manager of EA Sports, stated, "We love the energy, tradition, and pageantry of college football and I am beyond thrilled to say we are back in development." "Our fantastic team is excited to introduce a new game to players in the coming years, and we have a ton of really exciting work ahead of us."

Following this, the news update says, "EA SPORTS reaches players all over the globe and introduced six new console and PC experiences in the past year in addition to ongoing live service offerings on PC and mobile."

Denard "Shoelace" Robinson, the last cover athlete, is from NCAA Football 14. and

Ruling on the field

The press statement mentions "PC experiences" in passing while acknowledging the creation of the new college football game. It does not, however, specifically say that it will be available on Origin, Steam, Epic Games, or even EA's own launcher.

We did inquire for comments from Electronic Arts. "EA SPORTS plans to offer the game on a variety of platforms but will have more information in the future," a business spokesman said in response to our question.

Concerns about whether or not College Football will be locked on Xbox and PlayStation systems aren't much allayed by the announcement. It's not a given that reinstalling an EA Sports-branded college football will have the same effect as Madden 19, Madden 20, and Madden 21 on a PC near you.
