The leak by Reddit user BurnerIdk stated thatUFC 4will come to both the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 at launch, despite an original typo that suggested the Xbox One. They also revealed that the nextUFCgame will focus on content after previous iterations of the series focused on improving aesthetic qualities. While this sounds like promising news for fans, some players responded to this news by calling for anotherFight Nighttitle. WhileFight Nightis often considered to be one of the best boxing game franchises ever, it seems the publisher of the game, Electronic Arts, is reluctant to make another title. Either way, it seems that some fans are excited to have anotherUFCgame on the next generation of consoles.
The lastUFCtitle,UFC 3, received a mixed reactionand although there were positives, there were improvements needed for the career mode and ground fighting. These improvements look set to be delivered if this leak is correct as new content will likely mean a deeper career mode and a wider array of movements. Despite not being every player’s favorite fighting game, it seems that theUFCseries has plenty of ideas on how to stay relevant in the next generation.
WhileUFC 3didn’t land exactly as was intended, this leak provides hope that the series will hit its full potential in its fourth installment. It will be interesting to see if this leak comes to fruition and whether the next generation consoles will battle over exclusive content for the game, or if it will exist on both platforms harmoniously.
UFC 4is rumored to be in development for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
