Electronic Arts can sometimes come off a bit cold and corporate, but recently, they seem to be going out of their way to give hardcore fans what they want. Skate is coming back, Dead Space is coming back, and now, we have a new rumor that their well-liked Fight Night boxing franchise is also returning.

According to reliable leaker Tom Henderson and Video Games Chronicle, a new Fight Night game has been given the greenlight by Electronic Arts, but unfortunately, we probably won’t see it for a while. The new Fight Night is set to be developed at EA Vancouver, which also developed the last couple entries in the franchise, but the decision has been made to focus on EA Sports UFC 5 first. The original plan was to develop UFC 5 and Fight Night in tandem, but EA Vancouver struggled to find enough staff specialized in combat games to produce both at once, so UFC gets the attention “for the time being.”
