Scott Hanson Reportedly Will Be New In-Game Voice for EA Sports 'Madden NFL 26'

EA Sports is adding NFL Network's Scott Hanson to Madden NFL 26, according to Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Schultz reported Hanson, who's the host of NFL RedZone, is the "the new in-game voice" for Madden, though his exact role in the game is unclear.

Madden NFL 25 brought a big change to the game's commentary setup.

Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis returned for play-by-play and color duties respectively. However, EA Sports also added two new tandems. Kate Scott and Brock Huard formed one pair, while Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen made up the other.

Given his experience on NFL RedZone and as a host for other NFL Network programming, having Hanson in Madden 26 perhaps points to the inclusion of a studio show.

Gamers of a certain vintage will recall ESPN NFL 2K5 utilizing Chris Berman for a halftime show and weekly highlight reel when playing through franchise mode. Bringing that into the Madden franchise would undoubtedly be celebrated.

Even if Hanson's involvement is less than that, Madden's presentation appears to be expanding.
