EA Sports has finally solidified the release date for Fight Night Round 4. The game will be out on Tuesday June 30th. Interestingly that falls on the birthday of Mike Tyson who is the centerpiece of this game. As expected Tyson and Muhammad Ali share the cover.

The release date makes sense in that it falls in between dates for other EA Sports games that were already known. Tiger Woods 10 and Grand Slam Tennis are coming on June 16th and NCAA Football 10 is out July 14th.

Update: The release date may end up being June 30th but EA has informed me that it was posted in error. So no release date is official as of yet.

I like the style of the cover with the background providing somewhat of a gritty feel. Which incidentally is how all the EA Sports covers will look this year. But FNR4’s would have been much better with just one guy instead of both. Are they supposed to look like they’re fighting each other? If they are it looks awkward. If they aren’t it still looks like that’s what they were going for.

I like the cover, it's sick.

"Iron" Mike Tyson

It's great to get millions from EA just so they can put me on a cover of a video game.

Gameplay will be shown exclusively on IGN at 10am THURSDAY morning. There will also be a preview of the game.

Mike Tyson

BS! My game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out set the bar that no other sports game can compete with. What other PAST sports game can you get others to play with they see it? huh? I'm the Clive Davis in the video game world all I do is make hits! EA came up to me because they wanted a winner because they know I can push those units!

Evander Holyfield

WTF! It is a well known fact that Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing is the gold standard that all boxing games aim to achieve. It was so realistic you had to play it with a mouthpiece.

Buster Douglas

When are they gonna put me in? I get passed over every year and I know the people feel they are cheated by not having James "Buster" Douglas up in this game. The best boxing game ever was James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing for Sega Genesis. Most realistic boxing game ever! You know it be true.

So what do you suggest, every fighter or team be rated exactly the same? Madden tried this because of morons like you, and it failed, the ratings have yet to recover since.

IRON MIKE

AGREED.

Sean

Nice, I'm looking forward to this game.

I like the cover, it is pretty cool with both of the games (I'm assuming) most used boxers, most anticipated match up. "The Greatest vs. The Greatest Disappointment". It's good seeing Tyson back in a game though, I'm just afraid that while playing online, he will be overused like the best teams in Madden (Steelers, Cowboys, Patriots), NBA 2K (Celtics, Cavs, Lakers) etc. which takes away the fun of playing online because you never get much variety, unless you have your friends online or in some kind of league.

Pasta, I read where Gamestop is going to have a pre-order demo release....is this true and if so, when should we expect it? Thanks for the great info and site!!

bux

funny question Pasta... Are you gonna post something regarding Mike Tyson being a bad choice of a cover athlete? You did the same when APF2k8 dropped bro (OJ Simpson in the game). Just a question...

Daley

LoL

Greg

Great! Now can we FINALLY see some gameplay and a roster?
