Madden NFL it used to be a common face on Nintendo platforms, but we haven’t seen it in almost a decade Madden NFL 13 at Wii U. EA still provides us with annual updates of FIFA (even if they are “legacy editions”), EA previously said they had no plans to release it on Switch in 2018, but a recent to-do list indicated Madden could finally arrive.
This discovery comes from YouTuber Doctre81, who found a listing titled “Online Software Engineer – (C ++) – Madden”, which dates back to November 2020. Under the job requirements, a section calls for 2 years of experience working at “Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo Game Consoles.” This may not sound like much, but EA’s previous job listings haven’t included Nintendo within their criteria.
At the very least, EA could be investigating a possible version. It’s worth noting that in June 2020, EA confirmed that it would launch seven Switch games in that 12-month period. June 2021 is just a few months away, and since then we have six confirmed matches, included Apex Legends earlier this week.
This is one more to finish, but given Madden’s annual release schedule, EA could be waiting until the inevitable Madden NFL 22 – as opposed to Madden NFL 21 port – considering that they are traditionally launched in August. Either way, hopefully it’s not another legacy edition, eh?
