Developers EA Sports and 2K Games have hinted at the revival of college basketball video games. EA Sports sent a cryptic tweet on Monday that suggested it would create a college hoops game for the first time since 2009. 2K Games followed later in the day with a statement that it’s “exploring exciting new ways to bring athletes and schools to life.”

Following the smashing success of the college football video game’s revival, EA Sports is going to bring back the college basketball game after almost two decades away. The company announced the news Monday in a social media post.

EA Sports appears to be capitalizing on the wildly successful recent return of its college football franchise -- and is now playfully teasing what looks like a long-awaited comeback for the college basketball version. "Bring the Madness. Let's run it back," EA Sports posted on social media Monday morning.
