In its first major sports partnership in over a decade, EA SPORTS introduces EA Sports UFC. The next generation of fighting is built exclusively for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One by the team behind the critically acclaimed Fight Night franchise.

Powered by EA Sports Ignite technology, EA Sports UFC brings the action, emotion and intensity inside the Octagon to life in ways never before possible.

The next generation of Real Player Movement not only showcases the variety, power and fluidity of fighters' attacks through Precision Movement, Dynamic Strikes and Strategic Submission Battles, but also brings fighters to life with Full Body Deformation and Real-Time Tension.

Human Intelligence simulation takes a leap forward with the strategic and reactive MMAi system and is expressed in the most realistic characters ever created in a sports game.

UNPRECEDENTED FIGHTER SIMILARITIES

EA SPORTS UFC will set a new standard for character likeness and emotion in the game. Every licensed fighter in the game is created from high-resolution 3D head and body scans to bring to life unprecedented likeness and authenticity. Powered by EA SPORTS IGNITE, new facial animation technology delivers more expression, emotion and will communicate a greater sense of awareness and intelligence in the Octagon.

MMAi

A fighter’s mind is as important as their heart. Each licensed fighter in the game will have dynamic objectives and battle plans, based on their real-life styles and each fight situation. Stop their Plan A, and they will adapt to Plan B or C. Look for the right AI to end the fight with a KO or submission. A smarter opponent means more challenging and unpredictable fights.

COMPLETE DEFORMATION OF THE BODY

Until now, physical contact simulations between fighters have been limited to barely touching bodies; as a result, they looked and acted like plastic action figures rather than elite athletes. The team that revolutionized the sport by bringing real physics to Fight Night changes the game again with an all-new full-body deformation system that moves and shifts the fighter’s flesh in real time. For the first time, the force of every submission and the power of every strike will truly leave an impression.

REAL TIME TENSION

A UFC match is one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet, requiring fighters to give it their all with every move. Real-Time Tension brings every moment of that action to life in your gameplay experience. Through real-time veins popping, skin clearing, muscles tensing, and the signs of fatigue that show throughout each round, you’ll witness the demands of being one of the best fighters in the world.

PRECISION MOVEMENT

MMA is a sport of inches, where every step matters and every move counts. Powered by EA SPORTS Ignite, the Precision Motion System gives fighters weight, eliminating unrealistic skates on the mat. More realistic physics-based motion delivers more lifelike action, while the overall energy transfer from the ground makes strikes and takedowns more believable and impactful.

STRATEGIC SUBMISSION BATTLES

To earn the belt, you have to be dominant on the feet and on the mat. EA SPORTS UFC reimagines the ground game to create a fight for position and control that captures the strategy of the submission battle. Like the real sport, fighters in EA SPORTS UFC will work through phases to advance or escape a submission that ends the fight.

REAL DAMAGE

Every fighter knows that one well-placed strike can ruin your day. EA SPORTS UFC introduces a non-linear damage system that can result in a ton of damage dealt with a single strike. The system produces a wide variety of cuts and bruises that are life-like and have never been possible in a fighting simulation.

DYNAMIC SHOTS

An MMA fighter uses the environment to their advantage, and for the first time in a UFC game, you can too. The dynamic environment allows for incredible moves using the Octagon, including spinning kicks, jump punches, and more. Combine these skills with the best striking technology in the industry, and that one perfect strike can change the battle.
