EA has recently announced the revival of its popular EA Sports College Basketball franchise, which is set to come back in 2028, more than 15 years after the last entry.
EA Sports College Basketball 28 aims to revitalize the basketball market, which has been dominated by 2K for well over a decade now, and provide College Basketball fans a chance to play with their favorite teams and players.
The video game giants hope to replicate the massive success of College Football 25, which took the sports gaming world by storm and captivated millions of players.
EA Sports College Basketball 28 Release Date
The revival of the EA Sports College Basketball franchise was announced only a while back, so there is no exact release date so far. However, we know the game is coming in 2028, and due to the launch patterns of other EA Sports games, we expect it to do so in early June or late July.
College Football traditionally releases in July, and Madden in August. So, having EA Sports College Basketball occupy the month of June feels like the best option.
It gives EA Sports time to promote the game, doesn't overlap with the release of other sports titles in the company, and ensures the game isn't directly competing with NBA 2K for players a launch. This release date would also give basketball fans an alternative to NBA 2K, when the 2K title is normally already in decline.
EA Sports College Basketball 28 Platforms
2028 is still far away, and until then, there is a great chance that new consoles will arrive on the market, such as the PS6 and the new Xbox console, if Microsoft decides to continue in the console war that is.
If EA Sports College Basketball 28 follows in the steps of College Football 25, and other recent EA Sports titles, the will only be available for current-gen platforms.
College Football 25 was the first EA Sports title to leave the old-gen consoles behind, so it's very unlikely that EA Sports College Basketball 28 will be available for the PS4 or even the Nintendo Switch.
But, as mentioned above, this will all depend on how the console market develops in the next three years. If no new major platform arrives at the scene, then PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will likely be the only two supported platforms.
College Basketball 28 Editions
There is no official information about the College Basketball 28 Editions, which is natural as the game has only been announced recently and is three years away from its release.
However, other EA Sports games, such as College Football 26 and Madden 26, give us a good idea of how many editions College Basketball 28 will have. College Basketball 28 is expected to have two editions: Standard and Deluxe Edition.
This is the formula EA Sports has been using for almost all of their sports games, from EA FC to College Football, so it's very unlikely they will deviate from it in the near future.
That's all we know about EA Sports College Basketball 28 as of right now. More information about the game is expected to be revealed in the upcoming months, and we will make sure to update the article regularly.
