UFC 5 captures that in more authentic detail than ever before, from next-generation graphics upgrades that give gameplay animations new life, damage systems that marry the brutality and strategy of the fight game, gameplay updates that make the action feel even more fluid and realistic, and much more. For the first time in franchise history, the Frostbite engine powers EA SPORTS UFC, bringing unrivaled graphics upgrades for console games.
While bad news for Fight Night fans, it does at least show that EA is prioritizing UFC 5 development. It could also explain why development has taken longer than the normal two-year cycle. Regardless, even though leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, it is nearing the time when EA will want to at least announce UFC 5 in an official capacity soon if the game is really on track to release either in summer or late 2023 as speculated.
