What's gonna happen when Madden 25 comes out?
- Thread starter EdReedFan20
- Start date
If God of War can come out 13 years after God of War, I think Madden 25 can come 11 years after Madden 25.
I wonder if they thought they just wouldn't be doing Madden anymore in 11 years when "Madden 14" came out. That would be strange, considering how much money they make off the series.
I don't imagine anyone will care, and I doubt it would cause any real confusion when talking about games with others.
Maybe they just call it "Madden '25" with a giant apostrophe on the box.
Man. I need a hobby. Another hobby...

"Oh I'm sure we won't have to worry about that when the time comes" ~40 years from now: "Hey boss, we might have a problem here."
We joked about this back in 2014, but it was such a long way off we didn't think about it really. It'll be fine. Databases and websites will append a UUID to it, like they do with everything else, or add a -2 to the end of the URL.
By then, they might even put the full "2025" back on it to differentiate internally. Remember, from ~Madden '93 to Madden 99, they used just the two numbers at the end. Then from Madden 2000 to Madden 2005 they used all four numbers. Then with '06 they re-introduced just 2 numbers, and that's carried consistently through the decade.
I think they won't care and nobody will be confused by it. Naming it Madden '25 was a mistake anyway. They did it primarily because of the console transition which pushed Madden's release date back on new consoles, and so rather than confusingly release Madden '14 twice, once in august 2013 and Once very close to 2014 itself, they punted on the name... I think '25 confused more people in the end, and they likely won't try to out-think themselves again.

Wow, I never realized. I mean, I knew they'd re-used the name, but it never hit me that both were on the Xbox 360 until I looked it up just now, because the first one was on the PS2 era platforms.

They put "A Criterion Game" under the title. I guess that was done to avoid confusion.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was a reboot of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The confusing part is Call of Duty 4's remaster is just called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. So, the remaster of the original is the game that shares the name with the reboot!
