EA Sports UFC Will Not Be an Annual Title, Plenty of Free DLC Roster Updates Coming

[CaliDude916]

EA Sports UFC will not be an annual title (previously mentioned as a possibility by Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson). The second installment is scheduled to arrive in 18 to 22 months. However, there will be plenty of free DLC roster updates coming for EA Sports UFC, according to Creative Director Brian Hayes.

• It is not an annual title. The 2nd UFC game could be in 18 months or another 22. Once this game is released it will still continue to get support and "Roster" updates and such. It won't just be released and done.
• When I asked him about missing fighters (Like last night's new BW Champion, T.J. Dillashaw), he said they will try and get new fighters put in the game often (especially if T.J. had won tonight -- and he DID!) He said these types of "Roster Updates" would be free-of-charge. They would only charge for "DLC Fighters" if they were specialty ones. i.e. like a different Bruce Lee or "Younger" version of fighter. He said people would probably ask why Tito or Rampage are not in the game, but those type of added fighters would probably get turned down by Dana White.

Also in the article, UndisputedOnline has posted their hands-on impressions of the game, along with a ton of screenshots showing off many details that haven't been revealed yet.

Awesome. Hopefully these free roster updates make their way towards the WWE2k series, as well.

These have been the two best sources of information for EA UFC so far.

This type of releasing should be also for FIFA, NHL or other EA Sports-titles.

Yes. Huge win for gamers IMO.

Definitely excited about these 2 posts for UFC now. Hope it all works out..

Very happy to hear this. I also hope that TJ Dillashaw is available in a day one DLC. The champ needs to be in the game, period, at launch.
