UFC 4 will be released to the public on 14 August for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, with no current plans to release the game on the next-gen consoles upon their release. Nate McDonald, a developer for the game at EA Vancouver, had the following to say on the matter;

As far as the next-gen consoles are concerned, we’re really excited about that technology and what it’s going to bring to the industry. But our current goal as a team is to provide the best fighting game experience available to our players at launch in August on PS4 and Xbox One. We are exploring opportunities [for next-gen], but there is nothing to share right now.

As well as the return of Bruce Lee from UFC 3, those who pre-order the game will also gain access to boxing rivals Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

EA UFC 4 comes just under two and a half years since its predecessor, UFC 3, launched in February 2018.
