EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

[Galgorian]

Along with the Madden NFL 18 frostbite news and the delay of the next NBA Live, EA also announced, during today's Electronic Arts Q3 2017 earnings conference call, EA Sports UFC 3 will ship in fiscal year 2018, which runs from April 2017 through March 2018. Of course when an official release date is announced, it will get posted.

We will continue to drive innovation and competition in our EA SPORTS franchises. FIFA 18 will build on the foundation we created with story mode this year, bringing players back to The Journey with Season 2, featuring new characters and new storylines. Our development team in Vancouver is delivering deeply innovative new experiences across this year’s game, including in Ultimate Team, and creating the most emotionally immersive and connected FIFA we have ever produced. Our Madden NFL franchise will transition to the Frostbite engine with Madden NFL 18, unlocking major visual advancements and new gameplay experiences that will excite dedicated Madden players, football fans, and sports fans overall. Our complete roster of EA SPORTS titles in FY18 will also include NHL 18, a new chapter of our UFC franchise, and an all-new NBA LIVE game launching in the fall.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

Super pumped. One article I read said by the end of fiscal year 2018 which ends March 31, 2018 for EA Sports. But I think with a solid baseline they've built up, they might get out in that fall time frame.

EA UFC 2's first teaser came out on Nov 10 2015:

And it was teased on social media about a month prior.

So we got quite some time before EA UFC 3 comes out. By the looks of it, it's gonna be by the end of the year, unless they said "Fk it we won't waste resources on advertising as much this time." and went all out on the gameplay/feutures/modes.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

I wanna make this very clear...

DO NOT RUSH EA SPORTS UFC 3!

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

They literally have a very fun and balanced game in UFC 2 with amazing graphics, so there is no need to rush UFC 3 till next year of march. The game has such a solid base right now there really is no need to try and get UFC 3 out this year. This game is thriving online.

Take Your Time EA. Please!!!

Nah.

Rush the hell out of it. Don't listen to this jabroni. Some of us just want to watch the world burn.

But seriously, I'd wait an extra year if they have a killer Event Mode or Universe Mode. If they've got 350+ fighters I'm pretty happy too.

I think they've already got a solid foundation as you said. It feels like they are trying to keep it at a consistent 18 month schedule, but I wouldn't be surprised if with the new owners and the UFC becoming more apart of the sports world if they don't eventually push for a 12 month schedule like other sports franchises.

If I was in charge, I'd be trying to launch this thing every year in July when they run their huge July PPV.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

I tried again last night and UFC 2 is still unplayable for me offline. The AI just cannot win. So I don't care about how many fighters we get, I don't care if the graphic are any better, I don't even care about new game modes. Just give me a competent AI and some fairly basic sliders so I can tailor the game to my skill level and run my little spreadsheet universe. I'd pay $60 for a patch that did that for UFC 2 at this point.

Doubt I'll buy this one. Maybe after a couple price drops

It says it will ship in FY18, and I believe EA's fiscal year goes from April to March if I remember correctly, so I don't think this necessarily means it will be out this year.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed, Ships Later This Year

I really hope it's in March of 2018.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

Correct, updated OP.

EA Sports UFC 3 will ship in fiscal year 2018, which runs from April 2017 through March 2018. Could be this year, could be next. I'm leaning towards early 2018.

Ea going to be like "should we put decisions in the game? It'll take an extra week of development." "Hell naw let her rip".

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

It's nice to finally be working on something that officially exists.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

I like this, was looking forward to news soon. I checked the wiki and know the development cycle being 2 years so far between releases, so 2018 lines up.
