UFC 5: EA Sports’ Latest Game
The EA Sports UFC 5 game will feature Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko as the front cover athletes.
The talks over the release have been ongoing since 2020, the last edition of the franchise. Although the wait for that has been more than expected, the official release date has been confirmed for October 27th, 2023, for the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles.
And according to Inside Gaming, the current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya features on the cover for the deluxe edition.
As such, there are plenty of big names to get fans talking.

In addition, pre-order bonus features are also available which would allow fans to see Fedor Emelianenko, Mike Tyson, and Muhammad Ali in the game.
Therefore, there is a lot of anticipation to see how the game will do. But if it is anything like the last release, then fans can expect something big on the horizon.
Reaction To UFC 4
“There is no such thing as a perfect game, but there can be a perfect experience with a title because the slight issues you may experience don’t drastically hinder your enjoyment. The latest UFC game is very close to that rare benchmark. In this day and age where release day is just the beginning of the game’s journey through patches and tweaks, EA UFC 4 is perhaps an update away from its own brand of perfection,” Brian Mazique
“In short, UFC 4 is the definition of fine. While you’ll probably get several hours of fun out of beating the sport’s best to a pulp, I think I’d still rather dig out my Xbox 360 and play through Fight Night Champion or Undisputed 3 again,” Ricky Frech
“Whether you want to challenge the best in the world online or simply claim your throne in career mode, this is a terrific next step for EA Sports’ MMA franchise. UFC 4 effectively evolves its gameplay and career mode, giving you more than enough reason to step back into the Octagon,” Brian Shea
Given that the UFC and MMA in general is faring better, in comparison to other combat sports, fans are getting value for money.
