First details of EA's mysterious project. Will Project Gridiron attract new players?
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
EA is preparing an unusual American football project that should expand the audience of the company's sports games through social interaction and open-world matches.
Electronic Arts, according to media reports, is developing Project Gridiron, a standalone American football game with an open world, co-op exploration of locations, and short matches. The first showing is tentatively scheduled for summer 2027.
Initially, EA described the project as a “new social open-world experience,” without specifying whether it would be a separate game or a mode for Madden NFL or College Football.
According to Insider Gaming, Project Gridiron is being created to attract a new audience to the EA Sports ecosystem. Players will be able to meet in real time, explore the world, and play short matches with friends or users from all over the world. Sources note that the project will be very different from what the gaming community currently imagines.
This is not a third major football simulation and not a replacement for Madden NFL or College Football. The game is in an early stage of development, so the showing dates may change.
In parallel, EA continues to work on a separate mode resembling The Grounds, but has not yet decided which sports series it will be added to.
