What do you want from EA Sports? A new Fight Night Champion (Fight Night Round 5 or a similar boxing game) or another UFC game?

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?

We haven’t had a high-quality boxing game in a while.

Back in 2014, the FIFA 21 publisher released UFC, a collaboration between EA Canada and SkyBox Labs. At the time, boxing was losing popularity and UFC was finding more and more fans. It made perfect business sense that the video game publisher would jump on the bandwagon and find success with the rising sport.

Of course, the first UFC (which used similar game mechanics to the boxing title) went on to receive mixed reviews but raked in enough money to warrant a sequel (a big mistake in hindsight).

Then, despite less interest in the UFC gaming title, somewhere along the way, Fight Night (which featured 48 boxers, including superstars like Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson) was abandoned and put on the shelf. And it’s been there ever since, collecting dust and slowly fading into the back of our memories.

Fans of the franchise, of course, have been openly vocal and continually requesting Fight Night Champion 2 for many years. There was even a petition, which pulled in over 10,000 signatures, on change.org requesting another all-star boxing game.
