Latest gridiron game hits the field August 27; could be Madden NFL 14 sister product or rebrand of franchise to mark 25th anniversary.

Electronic Arts has announced that the next entry in the Madden series will land August 27. Interestingly, the game may not be called Madden NFL 14, but rather Madden 25.

According to the official announcement, more information on Madden 25 is coming soon. No platforms for the game were announced.

Nowhere on the page is Madden NFL 14 listed, indicating Madden 25 could be a sister product to Madden NFL 14 or a full-on rebrand to mark the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

An EA representative was not immediately available to comment.

The latest entry in the series–Madden NFL–sold 1.65 million copies during its first week, up 8 percent year-over-year. GameSpot’s review found it to be a competent yearly update, with old issues returning and little significant innovation over last year’s iteration.
