It was probably a foregone conclusion for most Duke fans at this point, but the Blue Devils are officially in the game.
Duke football announced on Thursday through social media that the team would be included in EA Sports College Football 25 when it releases this summer.
Blue Devil fans will (more than likely) be able to work with new quarterback transfer Maalik Murphy and other Duke stars as they build a dynasty in Durham.
Coaches, like new Blue Devils leader Manny Diaz, will reportedly not be in the game.
An ESPN report on Thursday said players do need to opt in for their name, image, and likeness to be used in the new game. Players would be compensated $600 and a free copy of the game if they chose to do so.

The game does not yet have an official release date, but it is expected in the summer of 2024.
