10 Things We Learned From The EA UFC 4 Reveal
7. Release Date
Possibly the most important bit of info revealed as part of Saturday's announcement was that the game will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 14 August this year with a beta to be announced in the coming weeks. It should be no surprise that fans have been hotly anticipating the news, as this marks the longest break between titles in the series so far.
Prior to the recent confirmation, some had begun to fear that EA UFC could have been going the way of EA's Fight Night series which, at least at the time of writing, has been in developmental purgatory for over a decade.
As far as whether the game will eventually be released on the next generation of consoles, no definitive news has been offered, but gamers probably shouldn't hold their breath. All signs currently appear to be pointing towards the game being solely released on current systems, before later being made forwards compatible for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
