Plans to revive EA Sports' acclaimed Fight Night video game franchise have been canceled after 15 years of dormancy. According to reports from Insider Gaming, development had progressed past pre-production before work was paused and ultimately scrapped internally approximately one year ago. The franchise has not seen a new release since Fight Night Champion launched in 2011.
While boxing promoter Eddie Hearn previously indicated a new entry was in development, any existing revival plans have ended. The report noted that any potential future project under EA would have to start completely from scratch, though potential discussions could arise due to Saudi Arabia's investment in boxing.
