Reports indicate that EA Sports has internally canceled the reboot project for "Fight Night," dealing a blow to plans for the series' return. The boxing game franchise has not seen a new release since 2011, remaining dormant for over a decade.
The reported cancellation decision is said to have been made in 2025. Development on the project had already been paused before EA Sports decided to abandon the reboot.
Previous reports suggested that EA intended to unveil the "Fight Night" reboot after the release of "UFC 6," with rumors that the project had even passed the pre-production phase. The latest news of its cancellation implies that this planned return may have been scrapped.
EA Sports currently still has the "UFC" fighting sports game series. It typically releases a new installment every two to three years, avoiding the annual update cycle seen in many of its other sports titles.
