Madden NFL 25 Release Date and Features
EA Sports is expected to reveal the new Madden 25 game on Thursday, May 16, according to trustworthy data minter billbil-kun. Moreover, August 16 is the planned release date for the game, with four days of early access beginning on August 12.
In terms of enhancements, billbil-kun hints at a revamped physics engine and other updates. Expectations are high for improvements to Franchise and Superstar Mode, which are likely to headline the May 16 reveal alongside pricing details and information on different editions of the game.
Another exciting feature on the horizon is the addition of new broadcasters. Charles Davis, a current commentator, teased back in December 2023 that Madden 25 will introduce multiple announce teams, a first for the franchise.
Madden NFL 25 Cover Star
There are many speculations regarding the Madden 25 NFL cover star. Unlike its predecessor, which honored NFL legends, this installment is expected to showcase a contemporary star. Several candidates are in the running, including Jalen Hurts, Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Donald, and Joe Burrow, among others. However, the identity of the cover athlete is unlikely to be unveiled during the initial announcement.
The report says, “We believe the identity of the player on the cover of the game will be revealed at a later stage, unlike the first announcement of Madden NFL 24 last year.”
However, there are many excellent choices and few are the following:
- Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams DE
- Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers QB
- Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers HB
- CJ Stroud, Houston Texans QB
- Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys QB
- Jalen Carter, Philadelphia Eagles DT
- Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles QB
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals QB
- Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers QB
- Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings WR
- Sauce Gardner, New York Jets CB
- Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs TE
- Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins WR
Now, while billbil-kun has remained tight-lipped about the cover athlete, it’s confirmed that EA Orlando (formerly EA Tiburon) will once again take on the development for the upcoming Madden game.
Madden NFL 25 Editions and Pricing
New Madden 25 game will offer two editions: Standard and Deluxe, and the following are the pricing:
- The Standard edition will be priced at $69.99
- The Deluxe edition will be priced at $99.99.
Madden NFL 25 Platforms
It’s highly probable that the new Madden 25 game will hit shelves for Xbox Series X|S and PS5, with the possibility of availability on both next-gen systems. Additionally, players on older console generations can likely look forward to enjoying the game.
Well, Madden 25 marks the franchise’s second installment bearing the same name. In 2013, EA Sports celebrated the franchise’s 25th anniversary by rebranding Madden 14 as Madden 25. Considering this legacy, Madden 25 will likely adopt a different title. While the original version was dubbed “Madden NFL 25,” eventually shortened to Madden 25, dropping the “NFL” from the next title won’t suffice.
However, it would be intresting to see what the new Madden 25 game will have to offer.
