"Experience realistic blow-by-blow damage with hyper-accurate progression as fighter attributes realistically deteriorate over the course of a fight. Feel the power of each impact with more than 64,000 possible facial damage combinations. New fluid physics and particle systems elevate blood and sweat inside the world-famous Octagon for a near 1:1 representation of a Pay-Per-View main event, while the implementation of the all-new face animation tool enhances fighter likenesses. Photorealistic fighter likenesses are accentuated with advanced body sculpting and strand-based hair during marquee UFC 5 moments."

  • Visual Effects – Improved fidelity means when fighters absorb strikes, the results show on their face and body in an authentic, wince-inducing fashion. Plus, all new fluid physics and particle systems make blood and sweat drip and spray as it does during the heat of the action.
  • New In-Game Cinematics – Using updated cameras, animations, and Frostbite, the cinematic moments pre-fight, between rounds, and post-fight feel fresh, bringing the drama of stepping into the Octagon to a new level.
  • Advanced Fighter Likeness – Thanks to Frostbite and a significant upgrade to lighting and rendering features – including dual-lobe skin and eye shading, strand-based hair, updated fighter body types, and industry-leading facial animation technology – the fighters players know and love have never looked more authentic.
  • Cinematic K.O. Replay – Showcasing UFC's massive presentation updates in a truly compelling way, Cinematic K.O. Replays let players admire their handiwork in stunning slo-mo highlights that turn the finish of a fight into a work of art.
