The Star Quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens will be EA's new star. Madden NFL 21 has come with everything. EA has finally confirmed Lamar Jackson as the cover star with an eye-catching cover and very different for the new game.

Cover star and art for Madden NFL 21

Current NFL MVP Lamar Jackson confirmed he will be on the cover of the EA Sports franchise. He is not a shock given his stellar game in 2019 and he has been an almost unbeatable player in Ultimate Team throughout Madden NFL 20, and costed over 1000k MUT 21 Coins in transfer market.

Art has also been completely reworked, giving Lamar a unique place in Madden's history. Not bad for a running back...

Madden's curse?

For years, Madden's cover stars suffered injuries and shocking performances during the season when they were on the cusp of their game.

In recent years, however, this one has been broken. Tom Brady went to the Super Bowl after his Madden NFL 18 cover, and Patrick Mahomes just won the Lombardi Trophy despite being on the cover of Madden NFL 20.

We're sure Lamar's quick feet will keep him out of trouble.

Madden NFL 21 release date

The new installment of the football simulation franchise will be available from August 28, 2020.

However, you can book one of the special editions for early access, which starts on August 25. The game will initially be available for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC. It will arrive later for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
