Since 2021, rumors of EA Sports reviving its Fight Night series have swirled around the internet. However, according to Insider Gaming’s Mike Straw, sources have revealed that EA’s boxing game is officially being developed and could be released during this console generation.
Fight Night is Back
During Mike Straw’s livestream, he discussed how Fight Night has had a stop-and-go development up to this point. According to Straw, the original plan was to release a new boxing game between the next two UFC titles, but EA paused development and continued to work on the game in spurts.
Straw’s statement matches what Sports Gamers Online reported in 2021. VGC suggested they’ve seen a company-wide e-mail saying EA Sports is pausing development on Fight Night to work on a new UFC game [UFC 5].
During his livestream, Straw stated that the publisher is working on the game again but is unsure when it will be released.
“EA is once again working on Fight Night,” Straw said. “They [EA Sports] don’t know when its coming, but if they do expect to be a this generation game.”
Later in his show, Straw guessed that since a Fight Night game would have to undergo a complete development cycle, it would be out by 2027 or 2028. With the recent release of Undisputed, fans’ constant requests for an EA boxing game have resurfaced tenfold.
