Virtual college football will be back before real college football.

The EA Sports College Football page on X updated its profile Thursday and released a new trailer promising a full reveal in May ahead of a release this summer.

That can only mean one thing, as the long-awaited video game series will be back before the 2024 campaign kicks off in August. The last version of the game was NCAA Football 14, so fans have been eagerly awaiting its return in the era of name, image and likeness rules in college football.

EA Sports first revealed the eventual return in February 2021 to much fanfare:

In January, Brandon Marcello of 247Sports reported the new game will be built on the same engine as EA Sports’ Madden franchise.

However, there will be differences in gameplay, playbooks and some of the things that make college football so unique, such as mascots, traditions and stadium atmosphere. The “Dynasty” and “Road to Glory” modes will also return.

Some of the graphics were released Thursday:

EA Sports typically released new versions of the game in late July when it was an annual tradition, so bringing it back with a summer release will certainly feel familiar to those who loved the game.

For now, fans have to wait until May for the full reveal. But the game is right around the corner.
