At least it lowers the speculation about will it be this year or the next. I'd say a release this year is more likely now, though it might still be april next year as originally thought.


They could've announced the platforms by now, though. People want to play it on PC.

I liked getting new fighters.

More importantly, I liked that I cuts down SOME of the catch-up issues they experience with roster turnover by not stopping for 12 months mid-cycle.

Apart from that there's literaly no difference between the content already in-game. For me it's only there for immersion when playing career or a tournament. So many people make a big deal out of this. For them, it's very cheap kudos. It's almost like devs should be rewarded for shipping the game with few fighters per weight, and then add them for free later. But then again, they could also do nothing at all, which is way worse obviously. And the fighters in question weren't that big yet on release time. Also saw the ad. I guess the end of the year suddenly becomes an option for the release. It's good that they official show the game is still being acknowledged.

There is a reason it's free.

Also, exactly. Some of us do play those offline modes quite regularly. So it's quite nice to get it. We're usually the last ones thought of on the "what should we do" list, so it makes sense that ours are the last gasps of support in between games.

I heard last year sometime that this game they'll be working with a new engine.
Get ready to heavily speculate these next couple of months

EA Sports Ignite is likely an outdated engine by now. FIFA was the first to abandon Ignite and switch to the Frostbite engine starting with FIFA 17 in 2016. Then came NFL 18 in 2017, followed by NHL 22 in 2021. UFC can no longer afford to fall behind; it's time to move to Frostbite 3.

The lifespan of EA Sports Ignite should have ended from 2013 to 2020.

Saw the announcement and got OS boards flashbacks, thought I'd come say hi. Good to see you around, Alberto, how have things been around here? Any significant discourse? I hopped on like a year ago and there was nobody, I even think I saw that Philyboi was banned, how come? It's been a minute, huh.

I dont know the date yet but its rare for EA to release specific game features and wait 6 mos for a release. Its usually no more than 3 months. I have no idea when the game will release by my money is on November/early December.
