Following EA's initial tease earlier this week, the company has now officially announced EA Sports UFC 2. The game will be released in spring 2016 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, featuring undefeated UFC champion Ronda Rousey on its cover.
"As a gamer myself, it's pretty surreal to be on the cover of the game and to have a woman on the cover of a UFC game shows a lot of progress," Rousey said. "I'm really happy to be involved with it."
EA Sports UFC 2 adds some new modes not seen in the first game (released in 2014), including KO Mode and Ultimate Team. The game also boasts a revamped Career mode (which lets you create female fighters; the first game did not), as well as a new feature called Grapple Assist that helps players master their skills. The first EA Sports UFC game was already gorgeous, but the sequel aims to take things like character likenesses and animations "to another level," EA said.
"The game being really, really, really, ridiculously good-looking is important to us, and the team is always working to find ways to outdo themselves," EA Sports UFC senior producer Brian Hayes told GameSpot. "That includes updates to the in-game lighting, the facial animation system and lots of new physics and rendering details. It all comes together in the in-fight replays, where you can really see the fighter flinch a moment before a huge strike lands, sending ripples across their face, and how their hair whips around with the force of the blow."
In addition, UFC 2 boasts a new knockout physics system to deliver more realistic animations. You can visit the EA Sports UFC 2 website to get all the details about the game's new features.
