“EA SPORTS UFC 4 is the best fighting game ever made,” UFC
President Dana White said. “Fans can play in the top arenas, as
well as in Backyard and Kumite environments. This game allows you
to play with the top athletes in UFC history*, plus legends like
Bruce Lee and boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. It’s
crazy how good this game is.”
“I am the face of the new wave of UFC fighters, so it feels
right to represent the sport on this new generation UFC game,” said
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. “I look forward to my
fans playing as me as much as I have enjoyed playing as
myself.”
In EA SPORTS UFC 4, the fighter is shaped by their fight style,
achievements and personality. Players can develop and customize
characters through a unified progression system across all modes to
go from unknown amateur to UFC superstar in the new Career Mode.
New to UFC 4, players can also experience four all-new
environments, including The Kumite, The Backyard, UFC Apex and
Action Avenue, or challenge the world in new Blitz Battles or
Online World Championships to become the undisputed champ.
Performance details like weight class and one of five MMA
disciplines, including Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing and more,
define how players fight, while over 1,600 new pieces of earnable
gear, over 120 emotes and more allow players to put their
personality on display while doing it.
“UFC 4 is the most authentic MMA game ever,” said Brian Hayes,
Creative Director, EA SPORTS UFC. “We’ve created a visceral
fighting experience that allows players to create their own UFC
legacy with Create a Fighter, explore the origins of MMA through
our new fighting grounds and be in full control of every strike and
takedown with our overhauled core gameplay mechanics.”
"MMA is more than about the belt. It’s about who you are as a
person and the determination that drives a fighter to go from
unknown to selling out arenas all over the world,” said UFC
welterweight Jorge Masvidal. “I grew up backyard fighting so it’s
exciting for me to see that style of fighting come to UFC 4 where
players can bring out their Gamebred mentality.”
In gameplay, fluid clinch-to-strike combinations offer more
responsive and authentic stand-up gameplay experiences, while
overhauled takedown and ground mechanics deliver more control in
those key phases of the fight. No matter how or where players play,
EA SPORTS UFC 4 puts them at the center of every fight. Fluid
clinch control brings RPM into the art of the ‘clinch’, adding a
key element of strategy to the striking system. RPM Tech drives a
takedown overhaul, with a slew of new takedown animations, driven
by player control and fighter attributes. A new submission system
was built to offer a simplified player experience, with more ways
to transition into submission attempts, accelerate a finish, or
deploy high-impact slams to escape them.
Additionally, an overhaul to Career Mode introduces a brand-new
way to develop fighter backstories and offers an in-depth evolution
process for the duration of the fighter’s career. The new fighter
evolution feature lets players dictate a fighter’s skillset, as
every punch thrown, or every takedown executed builds fighters up
in that specific discipline. Relationship Building brings the
impact of partnerships and rivalries into UFC 4, learning from both
friend and foe to gain experience and learn vital skills. Players
can pick their path, which allows them to choose the fights, weight
class and rivalries they want, ensuring no two careers are
alike.
EA SPORTS UFC 4 is available worldwide on Friday, August 14 on
PlayStation®4 and Xbox One. Players who pre-order** the game now
will get boxers Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, along with a
Backyard Customization Pack and Kumite Customization Pack
containing cosmetic items. Additional benefits± are available for
