EA Canada is working on EA’s upcoming UFC title and because of this the Fight Night series has been placed on hold by EA Sports. The last game that came out for the series was 2011’s Fight Night: Champion, which redeemed the series after the flop that was Fight Night Round 4.
“Right now, a great portion of the core of the Fight Night team are actually the team that are building UFC,” EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson told IGN. “Do I see a future for Fight Night? You know, sure. But right now, UFC is where our fighting focus is.”
This being said, we hope that the upcoming UFC game keeps the same control mechanics as the THQ titles, but as well add features that we’ve seen in Champion (honestly, a story mode and bareknuckle MMA fights would be awesome.)
