Here we go. Says codes going out late August which is now, so should be very soon.

Couple of interesting things. Seems to be current gen only. Also has an M rating.

This is great news, that will mean that it will probably be 60fps.. Doctor stoppages and a new damage system (M rating makes me wonder are also really welcome.

'strong language' is also mentioned which is new, we could be looking at a story mode

In case of current gen only release we could be looking at cross play which is also great

Awful to see no PC option. Really disappointing and upsetting. I've played every MMA game ever made, and quite obsessively, but that will end here, because I'm not buying a new console just for one game. No PC = no purchase. **** that.

I signed up. Hopefully I get a code.

Sorry dude, but you're in the minority I assume. Most people will be with Sirsunny. This probably means way better gfx, 60fps and less bugs, though you never know of course.


Anyhow, was hoping for a PC release eventually, so I could sell the console as I never play it.

That's the case for not releasing on old-gen consoles, but not for PC. Making games run on old-gen can hold them back since they can't implement the same levels of visuals etc. But releasing for PC does not have any impact on that at all, since PC is capable of better than any other platform.

The only real reason I can see for them not releasing on PC, is that they don't think it's worth allocating the resources to make the PC version. Meaning they don't think there's a huge market for it on PC. Releasing on PC would in no way impact gfx, frame rate, or bugs on console versions.

Played every MMA game out there going back to the dreamcast days. All the THQs and all the EAs. And I miss the beta every time. Enjoy.

The beta hasn’t started yet. I registered earlier today. Did you try to register?
