Now, 10 years after the release of a mainline title, VGC‘s recent reports suggest EA Sports began working on the new Fight Night game earlier than fans thought. However, it’ll be a while before we see any concrete footage or anything of that sort.
UFC 5 to take center stage
EA plans to make the development of UFC 5 its foremost priority. The title is scheduled for 2023 as per the reports. To deliver the best to the fans, EA has halted the production of the next Fight Night game.
And to clarify their plans, Electronic Arts, highlighting key factors that influenced their decision, said, “We’re very excited about UFC 5 and… we want to eliminate the split focus that several members of our leadership team have had over the past while so we can solely focus on delivering migration and UFC 5 at high quality,”.

EA’s decision is justifiable since UFC 4 has been a well-accepted game amongst combat sports fans. It also received a major update recently which welcomed some legendary fighters such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Anderson Silva, and more before their headline event UFC 268.
As of now, there hasn’t been any official word from the devs. And it could be a while before fans hear anything from EA themselves, since they would prefer to avoid the possibility of a Fight Night game affecting the sales of their successful franchise’s new title.
