Ever since EA Sports' popular NCAA football series wrapped up in 2013, fans have been desperately trying to convince the developer to make another college football game... and now that's exactly what's happening!
The company made the announcement on Twitter, along with one solitary teaser image:
At the time of writing, no further details have been provided about what we can expect, and we don't know whether it will actually be a licensed NCAA game (it seems unlikely) or simply feature fake teams and players.
We'll keep you up to date if we hear anything further on this, but as highlighted in the tweet above, you can follow the new EA Sports College Football Twitter account for official updates moving forward.
Excited about the return of college football to EA Sports? Let us know down in the comments.

Thought EA couldn't due to them having a Monopoly on football games.
This makes me so happy. Is there any way we could get some of the lost seasons back? As an Ohio guy, I’d love to relive the first national championship run of the playoff era.
Maybe they’ll let us download custom rosters and add more features that make the dynasty mode customizable.
@Tasuki the series was actually axed because college football players aren't allowed to earn any money from playing. Turns out that includes getting paid for allowing their likenesses to be used in videogames. So the NCAA was getting paid from EA using the NCAA licence and player likenesses and the players were getting nothing out of it and so got all up in arms over the situation.
Since then, no more NCAA games, which is a shame; I don't know the first thing about American football but it's my understanding that the games were good and a lot of people liked them.
I’m super excited that it’s back
As someone that does not play any sports games, I am curious: other than rosters and presentation, what would be the difference between an NFL and an NCAA game?
Are there any rule differences other than not paying the players in career mode and treating them as slaves?
