Saquon Barkley is the Madden NFL 26 cover star

EA Sports has unveiled some initial information about Madden NFL 26, the upcoming edition in their popular football simulation series. This new game will hit stores this August and marks a departure from previous versions as it won’t be available on last-generation consoles. The cover art for this year features New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley performing an impressive backwards hurdle.

Today, EA Sports unveiled the cover for Madden NFL 26 on social media. The Standard Edition showcases one of the most memorable plays from the recent NFL season – a spectacular hurdle by Saquon Barkley over a defender during a match against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Additionally, the Eagles running back graces the cover of the Deluxe Edition as well.

As a die-hard football gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the tantalizing hints EA has been dropping regarding Madden NFL 26. The cover reveal brought us a glimpse into some intriguing features such as Signature QB behaviors, distinct coaching strategies, and weather conditions that could potentially shift the game’s momentum.

Given that this is the first Madden title to bypass the Xbox One/PS4 console generation since their launch, it’s tempting to speculate that a significant technological advancement might be on the horizon for Madden NFL 26. I, for one, am eagerly awaiting more information about what this next-gen experience could bring!
