EA Sports unveils the first gameplay trailer for UFC 5

Beyond the gameplay, UFC 5 makes great strides in the depiction of the physical features of the characters. The quality of the animation is eerily accurate and detailed from the hair and clothing to the tattoos on the fighters' bodies.

Further, UFC 5 comes with a new mode known as the Online Career mode. With the online Career Mode, players can choose a character, participate in fights, and build a career like real UFC fighters would. By so doing, your character can progress from one division to another and fight for titles across different divisions.

UFC 5 will also have more ways to end a fight without compromising its integrity. With this update, we will referees interrupt a fight and ensure a fallen opponent doesn't get even more beating while they are on the ground. We will also see referees pause fights to assess significant injuries

To this effect, the referee can now interrupt a fight to prevent a downed fighter from getting beat up while on the ground. Also, the referee now has the ability to pause the fight, in cases of significant injuries, so the affected player can be assessed.

You will be able to rewatch some of your fight footage in super slow motion. These include your finishing blows, blood spurts, and flesh bruises. Given its high level of violence, UFC 5 has an M rating. This is a departure from other UFC games which are typically family friendly.

EA Sports UFC 5 will have two editions – the Standard Edition and the Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition will come with a few add-ons, including access to icons like Mike Tyson, Feder Emelianeko, and the Bruce Lee bundle, among others.

You can pre-order the game to get Early Access on October 24 ahead of its global release on October 27.
