As the old saying goes… April showers bring Turduckens in May…

Wait, that’s not right. But it is sorta-accurate as EA Sports has announced that Madden NFL 15 will be released for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on August 26. Once again, the game’s coveted cover athlete will be chosen through a fan vote, the details of which will be announced at 8:00 PM (Eastern) on May 8 during ESPN’s coverage of the NFL Draft.

Madden NFL 15 delivers everything fans need to own their rivals on both sides of the field, including the most immersive defensive gameplay control in franchise history.

It’s not just football, it’s Madden Season.

As always, Madden NFL 15 is in development at EA Tiburon. The publisher has promised that it will release a more complete look at the next Madden game in June.
