EA CEO Andrew Wilson at 2024 investor day.

We are entering the most exciting release cycle in our history | EA CEO Andrew Wilson

Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts, said in an analyst call that EA is “entering the most exciting release cycle in our history.”

Indeed. EA is gathering with creators and game press (incuding me) this week in Los Angeles to show off Battlefield 6 — the first Battlefield since Battlefield 2024 came out in 2021. EA is also launching Madden NFL 2026 on August 14, and it will have its College Football on a regular cadence going forward with annual releases.
