Madden NFL 21 developer, Electronic Arts, has confirmed that the upcoming game will reflect Washington's recent decision to rebrand its American football team.
In a statement to our pals at US Gamer, EA said: "We are pleased to see Washington's decision to change their team name and visual identity," said the spokesperson. "We are quickly working to update Madden NFL 21 to feature a generic Washington team, while we await final word on the updated team name and logo design."
The statement went on to warn players that as the game is about to be finalised and Washington has yet to confirm its new identity, they may "continue to see some outdated Washington references in other areas of the game at launch" and players purchasing a physical copy will still need to apply a patch to see the Washington changes in-game.
