Electronic Arts has revealed EA Sports UFC 5.

The first new entry in the mixed martial arts series for three years will hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 27, 2023.

Players who pre-order the game’s Deluxe Edition will be able to start playing three day earlier and will also unlock fight legends including Fedor Emelianenko, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

The game is being developed by EA Vancouver on the Frostbite Engine for the first time. Its headline new feature is the Real Impact System.

“The addition of the Real Impact System and the inclusion of many requested community upgrades provides UFC 5 with definitive title-over-title enhancement,” claimed EA.

“Experience realistic blow-by-blow damage with hyper-accurate progression as fighter attributes realistically deteriorate over the course of a fight. Feel the power of each impact with more than 64,000 possible facial damage combinations.

“New fluid physics and particle systems elevate blood and sweat inside the world-famous Octagon for a near 1:1 representation of a Pay-Per-View main event, while the implementation of the all-new face animation tool enhances fighter likenesses. Photorealistic fighter likenesses are accentuated with advanced body sculpting and strand-based hair during marquee UFC 5 moments.”
