EA Sports quietly announced UFC 3 this week, KOing any hopes of a new Fight Night for the time being. The sequel, due out worldwide on 2nd February, will feature Irish gobshite Conor McGregor on the cover – but don’t tell him we said that as he could probably murder us with his little finger.
The headline new feature in this latest edition is what the publisher’s billing as Real Player Motion, which basically means that the animations are really bloody good. A fresh career mode will see you making important decisions both inside and outside of the Octagon, while there’ll also be new multiplayer modes – including a tournament type option.
There’ll be two versions of the title at launch: a standard $59.99 edition and a ‘Champions Edition’ for $79.99. The latter will be available three days early, and will come with one former UFC champion in Ultimate Team and 20 Premium Packs. There’s a debut trailer embedded above, which is honestly almost as violent as that The Last of Us: Part II cut-scene that got everyone's knickers in a twist.

I bought UFC 2 when it was around $10 so my friends and I can laugh at the hilarious knockout animations after we beat each other's virtual faces to a pulp.
Game looks great visually and the punches and kicks are satisfying, but the ground game was lackluster.
I'll probably get this when it's on sale, just like I did with the predecessor.
I love me some mma, but for some reason I do t care for these games. They always feel so sluggish to me. After enjoying the combat from games like Nioh, bloodborne, dark souls these games just don't seem fun to me. Im probably wrong
"will come with one former UFC champion in Ultimate Team and 20 Premium Packs."
How does this even remotely work in a one v one fighting game?
@themcnoisy I thought the same thing but couldn’t find any deets.
The last game was great but the submissions need work as they were the worst feature of the last game.
I also bought part 2 on sale. loved the character creator and had fun online but they REALLY need to figure out how to simplify the controls (especially concerning the ground game) and make it a seamless experience

@hadlee73 Who are you calling a pillock?
Does anyone really want another UFC game?
@hadlee73 you mean the most famous UFC fighter of all time?
I find these games pretty boring. I'll stick to the real life version of combat sports.
I'll only consider playing this game if Joe "Want some Caveman Coffee" Rogan is in it.
@Constable_What he was in the last one as a cheat code so might be included again, or you know with EA prob some paid DLC pack .
I want an MMA game where I can be top of the league, stop training to star in movies then get my head caved in in every subsequent match before retiring.
@themcnoisy @get2sammyb You build a fighter in every weight class which becomes your "ultimate team" and these premium packs have universal qualities or specific weight class qualities which is RNG heaven.
@AD-80 Thanks for the info!
