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.”

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.

Monday, EA posted on social media about the return of the video game, which has been off the shelves for over a decade. The last time a college basketball game was released was “NCAA Basketball 10,” which was released in Nov. 2009.
