College Football Video Game Release Date Might Have Accidentally Leaked

It sounds like the new college football video game will arrive at some point in July.

EA Sports recently dropped a teaser for "College Football 25," and it will mark the first college football video game in more than a decade.

No release date was officially announced and more information was promised in May. The biggest question fans have is when they will be able to fire up their consoles and, once again, build powerhouse dynasties.

Well, I might have accidentally stumbled upon some interesting information.

Will "College Football 25" drop in July? 

Now, it's important to note there's absolutely no concrete information about the day the game will be released or even what month it might come in.

Previous games were released in July. Will "College Football 25" do the same? It appears that's exactly what is going to happen.

I spoke with a PlayStation rep on Tuesday to get some clarification on what to expect with the game and what kind of console to get (I'm literally buying a PS5 just for this game), and he offered up unsolicited that the game is scheduled to hit shelves in July - information EA Sports and those tied with the game have gone out of their way to keep hidden.

The rep straight up told me when talking about PS5 options that the highly-anticipated game has "a release date scheduled for July 2024." He seemed wildly knowledgeable about the situation in terms of release details, specs and possible release strategies.

The release date information isn't public, but is it possible PlayStation already has it? That would make a lot of sense. After all, EA Sports works very closely with the people running PlayStation and Xbox. They want marketing and releases to be perfect. 

You'll even see leaks of this nature when it comes to information being given to Google for episode listings before it's public. The return date of "The Last Ship" hit Google early without many people realizing it. Information is certainly shared a lot more than the public sees.

Given the fact previous games dropped in July and how casually and confidently this information was shared with me, it seems like there's certainly some smoke to this situation. Hopefully, his information is correct because that would give fans probably a month and a half to win some national titles before the regular season starts. The perfect primer!
