” Changes to the name and logo design will come by means of title updates that will download immediately. The first changes will be available to our EA Access gamers and will include audio/commentary updates; motion graphics and discussion updates; arena art, environments, crowd equipment and signage updates; and uniform updates,” the EA spokesperson adds. “Players might continue to see some obsoleted Washington recommendations in other locations of the game at launch, but we are devoted to getting rid of all of those from the video game in additional title updates coming shortly after launch.”
Electronic Arts has actually decided to pull all recommendations to the Washington Redskins name and logo from its upcoming Madden NFL 21 video game releasing next month. The move follows the landmark choice from group leadership earlier this week to change the Redskins name and overhaul its brand name in reaction to years of demonstrations and criticism from activists and corporate sponsors over its racist history. The news of EAs strategies to upgrade Madden for its August 25th release was first reported by Kotaku on Friday.
” We are delighted to see Washingtons choice to change their team name and visual identity,” an EA spokesperson verified to The Verge. “We are quickly working to update Madden NFL 21 to include a generic Washington group, while we await last word on the updated team name and logo style.” The upgrade removing all Redskins referrals will be prepared for launch, however it will need players who buy the video game on a disc to link to the internet to download and install it as the game remains in the “last phases of preparation before shipping.”
