Electronic Arts has confirmed the release of EA Sports UFC 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, with a date set for June 19. Digital pre-orders are now available in two editions. The new installment promises to refine the hand-to-hand combat experience with improvements to the grappling system and fighter artificial intelligence.
Improved graphics engine and physics for the octagon 🥊
The development team has worked on a new physics system that affects punches and falls. Heavy blows now generate more realistic reactions in the opponent's model, with a cumulative damage system that influences stamina. The AI has been revised to offer more aggressive and defensive behaviors based on the selected fighter's style. The frame rate has also been optimized to maintain a stable 60 fps during the most intense fights, something that caused certain performance issues in previous installments.
New career mode: now you'll also manage the burger 🍔
The career mode will include a more detailed weight management system, because nothing says realism like spending 20 minutes deciding whether your fighter eats chicken or salad. You'll also be able to choose sponsors for energy drinks and supplements, which basically turns the game into a fighter's Instagram simulator. If you've always dreamed of seeing your fighter sign advertising contracts between rounds, this is your chance.
