Family Friendly Gaming News
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(June 3, in the year of our Lord
2025)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and EA
SPORTS™ announced today that Philadelphia Eagles running back
Saquon Barkley will grace the cover of EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26,
the first Eagle to do so in 20 years. Barkley’s record-setting
season earned him both the cover and induction as the first
member of the coveted Madden NFL 26 ‘99 Club.’ Barkley appears
on two unique covers with one memorializing his spectacular
reverse hurdle from last season. New features coming to Madden
NFL 26 will be revealed this Wednesday, June 4 and Madden NFL 26
will launch worldwide on August 14 on Xbox Series X|S,
PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via EA app for Windows,
Steam, and Epic Games Store.
“Starring on the cover of Madden NFL 26 and being named to the
Madden NFL ‘99 Club’ are both dreams come true,” said Barkley.
“I’m grateful to my teammates, coaches, and Eagles fans for
their support, and I can’t wait to hit the field again to give
Madden players more highlight-reel moments in Madden NFL 26.”
Barkley etched his name in the record books in 2024 with one of
the most dominant seasons ever, becoming the first player in NFL
history to rush for more than 2,500 yards in a single season,
including playoffs, and leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl LIX
victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
"Saquon's reverse hurdle was one of the rare, defining moments
in NFL history that would have once been described as 'something
out of a videogame,'” said Evan Dexter, VP, Franchise Strategy &
Marketing, EA SPORTS Madden NFL. “Now, it’s a display of the
athleticism and creativity of one football's most electrifying
athletes. Madden NFL 26 will deliver the most real NFL
experience we've ever built so that players can experience more
of the unreal moments that Saquon put on display all season
long. The full reveal is this Wednesday - don’t miss what’s
next."
