EA Sports UFC is a mixed martial arts fighting video game developed by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brand and is expected to be released in Spring 2014. It will be the first UFC game since THQ sold the license to Electronic Arts.[1][2][3]
Gameplay
The game's artificial intelligence accommodates for changes in player strategies mid-game to make the gaming experience more realistic.[4] The game also simulates "full body deformation" to connect players with their player-character.[4]
Development
Electronic Arts announced a "multi-year, multi-product" partnership with the Ultimate Fighting Championship at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012.[4][5] The series was previously handled exclusively by THQ,[6] who later reported that the publishing rights were purchased by EA Sports for an "undisclosed cash payment".[5] The first gameplay for the game was shown at the Xbox One reveal event in a trailer by EA Sports. The game will be one of the first to run Electronic Arts's Ignite engine.[4][6] Electronic Arts put its Fight Night boxing franchise on hold while developing EA Sports UFC.[7] The company said that the decision was based primarily on the UFC's greater international prominence, although the boxing series could potentially return.[7] The Fight Night team (EA Canada) became the UFC team.[7][8] Before its UFC partnership, Electronic Arts (EA Tiburon) had previously released the 2010 EA Sports MMA, which did not feature UFC-licensed players.[7] The last UFC game before EA Sports UFC was THQ's 2012 UFC Undisputed 3.[8]
