Multiplat Strong UNDISPUTED sales has roped EA into reviving FIGHT NIGHT

Undisputed sold 1 million in its opening week which is very strong for an Indie game. Latest word is the strong sales are pushing EA to relaunch Fight Night. We can finally play as fan favourite Jake Paul.

According to a new report from Mike Straw, the new Fight Night has been in the works for a few years but was sidelined by the UFC games.

Straw said, “EA has kept a close eye on Steel City Interactive and Undisputed.”

He added, “They aren’t worried about affording licenses, because EA has billions of dollars. They’re worried about the interest and the sales.”

Was this resurgence sparked by the YouTube world colliding with the sport and making a new generation of ‘boxers?’

Will we see KSI and Jake Paul sparring in the next part of the Fight Night franchise? I’d be surprised if we didn’t, it’s a sure fire way to sell more games.

If EA isn’t worried about licenses and only sees concern in sales, tapping into the fanbases of the myriad YouTube ‘boxers’ could spark a wave of new fans.

No further news is available, this includes a possible release date for the new game.

Hopefully true.

Just goes to show what EA is all about. They used to crank those games out quite regularly, from "Knockout Kings" to "Fight Night", and enjoyed moderate financial success with them. Then they just stopped because FNC didn't make a kabillion-gillion dollars. Now they want back in, because of Jake Paul of all things.

Undisputed had good early sales but they fully left the door open for EA. The very poor communication, lack of updates and hefty dlc prices will make it easy for them to swoop in if they do decide to get back into boxing.

I haven’t played undisputed but Fight Night was a truly great series. I really loved EA MMA too. No idea why they chose the control scheme they did for their UFC games

Fingers crossed this materializes. Indisputed is very very rough around the edges and super clunky. I still play Fight Night Champion though, IMO the best Boxing game in terms of gameplay

if it only came out on the Switch 2, that would be the only reason to buy that console for me, and i would

The DLC kills it for me. I hate having to pay to add people to the roster.
