As planned, Electronic Arts has officially presented today the new installment of the UFC saga.
The first game in the franchise in three years will have versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and will go on sale on October 27, 2023.
Development is being carried out by the EA Vancouver studio, and it has been confirmed that it will use DICE’s Frostbite engine. The big news about EA Sports UFC 5, in any case, is the new Real Impact System.
According to the North American company, “The addition of the Real Impact System and many improvements requested by the community provides the definitive improvement to UFC 5.”
“Experience realistic hit-for-hit damage with hyper-accurate progression as fighters’ attributes realistically deteriorate throughout the match. Feel the power of every impact with over sixty-four thousand possible facial damage combinations” .
“New fluid physics and new particle systems raise blood and sweat inside the famed Octagon for a near 1:1 rendering of a pay-per-view main event, while the implementation of a new facial animation tool enhances fighter lookalikes. The photorealism of the fighters is accentuated with advanced sculpting of the bodies and hair during highlights of UFC 5.”
As we said, EA Sports UFC 5 will be available on October 27. Users who pre-order the Deluxe edition will be able to start playing three days early, and will also unlock legendary characters such as Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Fedor Emelianenko.
