EA Sports UFC release date will be in June and Bruce Lee will make his way to the Octagon as a day one access pre-order bonus. EA has announced in a press release that its next-gen sports fighting game EA Sports UFC will be in stores June 17 for the PlayStation and Xbox One. That is not the only thing fans can be excited about. The publisher also announced that legendary martial arts icon Bruce Lee will be the game’s pre-order bonus. UFC president Dana White called Bruce Lee the “Father of Mixed Martial Arts.” The videogame will be an actual representation of the legend.
EA Sports UFC art director Ian Lloyd said, "This does not just look like Bruce Lee. It is Bruce Lee. The way he carries himself, his fighting stance, his rippling physique, devastating speed, signature strikes and accompanying yells, whoops and shrieks."
If you don’t get the chance to pre-order the game, don’t worry. You will be able to unlock Bruce by beating the career mode in pro difficulty or higher, and he can be used in the Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight and Lightweight divisions.
Brian Hayes, creative director said, "It has always been part of our vision to have Bruce Lee, the most iconic martial artist of all time, in the first ever EA SPORTS UFC. The team is very excited and tremendously honored to have the privilege of bringing Bruce Lee to life in our game. We've been working closely with the Bruce Lee team to ensure we represent the legend with as much visual and gameplay fidelity as possible."
Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee’s daughter and Chairperson of the Bruce Lee Foundation commented, “I am so excited about this opportunity to bring my father back to videogames! I’m thrilled that fans can now interact with him in a new way. The EA Sports UFC development team has been incredible to work with, and they've done a great job capturing the look and feel of my father. I think people will love getting a chance to fulfill a fight fantasy by playing Bruce Lee in the new UFC game.”
