There is big news expected for fans of college football and EA Sports' beloved series, with reports that there will be a big announcement coming on January 8 regarding the new game.

EA Sports College Football 24 will be the first release in the series since NCAA Football 14, with the company unable to publish games in recent years due to legal disputes over the use of players' likenesses and other licences.

The return of the franchise was first announced in 2021, with EA Sports' vice president and general manager, Daryl Holt, explaining the reasons for a 2024 release date.

"That's the best date for us to bring the game that we think is going to meet or exceed our player expectations. And cover the breadth and scale of what we want in the game. We're trying to build a very immersive college football experience."

"If you look back on where we were talking in 2021, that road was blocked. I think I even said something to the fact that we were passengers on this journey, just like anyone else.

"Well, the road's open now, but it's still under construction."

Holt also mentioned that the return of Dynasty mode - which allows players to control a school over multiple seasons - was a priority.

"Dynasty was on the top of everyone's mind, on top of everyone's list," he said.

"So that's been something that I think we are passionately focused on and want to make sure that we can get that as right as possible for Year 1 with still foundational elements to build on as we go forward."
