EA job posting suggests Madden may be on the verge of a change

Madden NFL It used to be a regular face on Nintendo platforms, but we haven’t seen it for almost a decade after. Madden NFL 13 on Wii U. EA always brings us annual updates for FIFA (even though these are “legacy editions”) EA previously said they had no plans to release it on Switch in 2018, but a recent job listing indicated Madden could finally happen.

This discovery comes from YouTuber Doctre81, who found a listing titled “Online Software Engineer – (C ++) – Madden,” dated November 2020. As part of the job requirements, there is a section asking for 2 years’ experience of work on “Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo Game Consoles.” That may not sound like much, but previous EA job postings did not include Nintendo in their criteria.

At the very least, EA could investigate a potential rejection. It should be borne in mind that in June 2020 EA confirmed that it will be releasing seven Switch games during this 12 month period. June 2021 is only a few months away, and we’ve had six confirmed matches since then, including Apex Legends earlier this week.

That leaves one more, but given Madden’s annual release schedule, EA could potentially wait for the inevitable. Madden NFL 22 – as opposed to a Madden NFL 21 port – given that they traditionally launch in August. Anyway, just hope it’s not another legacy edition, eh?
