UFC 5 is the next instalment of the hit MMA fighting game from EA Sports but when does it come out and does it have a release date?
EA Sports shared some great news for UFC game fans recently about the next instalment in their long-running franchise.
The gaming giants confirmed that there is a new UFC game, called UFC 5, in the making, but they did not say when it will come out.
EA just posted a teaser on their social media channels and added that more details would be available in September.
The release date of UFC 5 has not been shared by EA Sports either, but it could be in late 2023 or early 2024.
UFC 4 was released on 14 August 2020 and is still receiving updates for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
However, we could see a next-generation UFC game since the PS5 and Xbox Series X are the latest in gaming hardware.
The release date should also be confirmed sometime in September, but there is no fixed year date for when the game will be released. UFC 2 was released in March 2016, while UFC 3 was released in February 2018.
There is no detail available regarding what the UFC 5 roster could look like. However, all the top names in the company should feature.
EA Sports UFC 4 featured all the big title holders and names, and they kept on adding new fighters who were joining the promotion.
UFC Champions like Islam Makhachev, Alex Volkanovski, Jon Jones, Zhang Weili and more should be top-ranked as well.
EA Sports UFC 4 did remove the Ultimate Team game mode, and it will be interesting to see if this returns for UFC 5.
UFC 4’s cover stars were Israel Adesanya and Jorge Masvidal, and there is still no news on who will grace the cover for UFC 5.
The current game also brought in some new features and game modes and it is to be seen what EA brings to the table for UFC 5.
