College Football 25 Trailer Shows First Look at Gameplay, New Details Revealed

After teasing earlier this year that it would properly reveal the long-awaited return to the college football video game series, EA Sports has finally released the first official gameplay trailer for College Football 25. The trailer shows off the visuals, first looks at returning modes like Road to Glory, and some new changes fans can anticipate.

You can watch the new trailer above. Additionally, in a press release, EA shared new details about what is coming to College Football 25, such as the previously confirmed return of the fan-favorite modes Road to Glory, Dyanasty, and Ultimate Team, along with a new mode called the Road to the College Football Playoff.

A separate blog post detailing College Football 25 published by EA revealed that Team Builder will be included in College Football 25. Allowing players to create their own college football program. This custom team will be playable in both Play Now and Dynasty Modes, according to EA, with more details on Team Builder coming this summer.

More interestingly, EA confirmed that College Football 25 will introduce CampusIQ, which bundles several features that aim to bring “to life the true depth of college football.” Features like a Wear & Tear System and Pre-Snap recognition aim to challenge a player’s strategy to ensure maximum success for their favorite FBS school.

Beyond the diversity in play styles across all 134 college football schools, another thing that makes college football unique is the iconic settings, stadiums, and traditions. EA notes that College Football 25 will capitalize on the spirit of college football by offering rivalry rituals and unique team run-outs. It will also feature broadcasting and commentary from notables analysts and commentators, such as Kirk Herbstreit and Rece Davis.

The full reveal and details on gameplay come less than a day after EA announced the cover athletes for both the Standard and Deluxe Editions of College Football 25. In addition, the publisher revealed that College Football 25 will be released on July 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, though fans who buy the Deluxe Edition or the MVP Bundle will gain access to the game three days early.
