Oscar De La Hoya, the former boxing champion, has a knockout of a tease after hinting at the return of the beloved Fight Night video game series. The speculation comes after De La Hoya posted an image of the Fight Night Round 3 cover on Twitter with a caption suggesting a significant announcement related to the gaming sector.
Given the history of Fight Night, a franchise that has stayed dormant since Fight Night Champion's release in 2011, fans have long been wanting for the franchise to get back up on its feet.
The Fight Night series, known for its detailed career mode and engaging gameplay, has been missed by boxing enthusiasts and gamers alike. The most recent installment, Fight Night Champion, was praised for its innovative approach to boxing simulations, offering players a deep story mode and competitive online matches. The potential for a new title in the series is exciting for fans who have been waiting for over a decade for its return.
Electronic Arts, the developer behind Fight Night, has shifted its focus to the EA Sports UFC series in recent years, leaving the boxing series on hold. However, with the release of EA Sports UFC 5 last year, rumors have emerged suggesting that EA might revisit the Fight Night franchise. These rumors gained more traction with De La Hoya's tweets, hinting at his involvement in an upcoming project related to boxing video games.
