Electronic Arts has launched the newest game in the UFC franchise, EA SPORTS UFC 4, where players can shape their own UFC legacy, or challenge the world in new Blitz Battles or Online World Championships to become the undisputed champion of the Octagon on PS4 and Xbox One.
“For EA SPORTS UFC 4, we wanted to focus on creating authentic MMA gameplay for our fans. From the updates to the clinch game and takedown mechanics, to the new dynamic striking inputs and grapple assist controls, we’re delivering a deeper and more accessible gameplay experience for fans at all levels.”
“We also built an all-new progression system centered on the Created Fighter that rewards players for every fight through the new Connected Fighter Profile to showcase their fighter’s personality and achievements.”
Brian Hayes, Creative Director, EA SPORTS UFC 4
Pick from a variety of modes to play:
- Rise through the ranks in an enhanced Career Mode experience that includes an all-new fighter evolution system where every choice is integral to shaping your fighter’s skills
- Compete to become a world champion in the all-new Blitz Battles
- Go up against the world’s best in Online World Championships to become the undisputed champion
Four all-new environments pay homage to fictional and historical styles of combat sports, including The Kumite and The Backyard.
Inside the Octagon, when players put opponents on the canvas, players will see, hear, and feel the impact of every decisive blow with high impact moments and face-rippling replays. EA SPORTS Real Player Motion Tech overhauls the art of the clinch and delivers more dynamic takedowns, while new submissions and devastating ground and pound make finishing the fight more exciting than ever. Grapple assist provides more accessible controls on the ground and a refined striking control scheme allows for better access to combinations and positioning.
This year for the commentary team, former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, Daniel “DC” Cormier, sits Octagon-side alongside UFC commentator Jon Anik to provide a fresh and entertaining experience.
“Watching my career go from the Octagon to the booth and back again has been incredible.”
“It’s going to be a lot of fun hearing me commentate fights when I’m playing UFC 4, especially when I step into the Octagon to fight as myself.”
Daniel “DC” Cormier
