By Ryan Fleming Updated June 23, 2014

Here’s our full EA Sports UFC review.

EA Sports UFC marks a new chapter in the ultimate fighting game franchise. After switching hands from publisher THQ to Electronic Arts, the team at EA Canada – which includes many of the developers responsible for the Fight Night boxing series – are breathing a new life into the property. We don’t know yet exactly when the game will hit stores, but we do know some of the fighters we’ll be able to control when the game is released. We also have some screenshots to see how those fighters will look.

The latest release of images features several well-known male and female fighters, including Nate Diaz, Meisha Tate, and Cain Velasquez.

There is no official release date, but soon enough we’ll be able to knockout and submit the best fighters in the world on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

UFC 4 players voiced their disappointment and outrage against the appearance of real-world ads to UFC 4 in a Reddit thread, which showed a clip featuring an ad for Amazon's The Boys Season 2 while within a match.

Electronic Arts' EA Sports will be taking a stronger stand against racism in its games, with NHL titles, in particular, promising harsher penalties against players who will propagate offensive content.

Electronic Arts is just one of the several companies in the video game industry that have pledged support to the fight against racial injustice, as social unrest has swept across the United States after the tragic death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Take-Two Interactive shut down Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Online for two hours, and Microsoft's Mojang has pledged to donate all profits from Minecraft sales on June 19, among others.
