A Facebook post to the EA Sports NCAA Football page confused some gamers Monday. Many believed that the short video posted to the page meant that a new EA Sports NCAA Football video game was coming out.

EA Sports NCAA Football has not released a game since NCAA Football '14, which was released in July 2013. The associated EA Sports Facebook page has been inactive since July 2014.

On Monday, the social media page was active again, featuring a short video clip. Monday's activity was initially read as a possible hint that a new game was coming out soon, Polygon reports.

The three-second video was a clip of an electrocardiogram scan. This seemed like a hint that the video game had a "new heartbeat," representing the return of the series after time away.

Polygon contacted EA Sports directly to ask if the video meant that the game was being resurrected. EA Sports quickly denied that a new game was coming.

"No news, sorry to get your hopes up," EA Sports said.

The developer was quick to update their Facebook post to explain what they meant by the video clip of the heart rate monitor. They claimed the post was only meant to hype up Monday's NCAA National Championship game between Alabama and Clemson.

EA Sports also added a few words to the earlier Facebook post.

"Our heart still beats for the big game... ‪#‎NationalChampionship."

The NCAA Football series from EA Sports was discontinued back in 2013 after the developer settled a huge lawsuit over using players' likenesses.

After the confusion, EA Sports went on to make it extremely clear that there will be no new NCAA Football game coming out anytime soon.

"We have no new plans or announcements to make regarding the EA SPORTS NCAA Football series. Today's National Championship game reminds us more than ever that the hearts in our community still beat for college football."
