EA Sports has made two announcements relating to Fight Night Round 4. The first is that the price of the game is being dropped to $39.99 while the second relates to the next downloadable content that will be arriving next month.

In addition to including Bernard Hopkins, Sonny Liston and Evander Holyfield as playable boxers, the DLC pack will also include two all-new game modes. The first, Old School Rules brings a new take to the traditional boxing experience, while the second, Ring Rivalries, allows you to re-create some of the greatest match ups in boxing history.

The DLC will go for 800 MS points on the 360 or the equivalent $10 on the PS3. No date has been set for the release other than it coming in December and full details on the new game modes have not yet been made available.

      I picked up this game when it came out and I have been very impressed. It received so much bad press when in reality it's a great game.

    40 dollars for this game is a damn good deal. I'll be looking to pick it up for sure now.

    Nobody watches boxing. So why would anyone want to play a boxing video game?

    Isn't EA bleeding money, and bad, with this one?

      Nobody watches boxing? Boxing gets more people paying 60 bucks for its biggest fights then Basketball and Baseball get watching their championship games for free. What a moron

      I don't know if they're "bleeding money" but the game certainly didn't sell anywhere near expectations.

    Why do they charge so much for DLC? I think that if they charge 5-7 bucks they would probably make more money with more customers. All DLC should be 5-7 bucks unless it's adding a ton of features. Mo Diddley has patients like a doctor so Mo Diddley can wait until they bring the price down.

    Mo Diddley the voice of the people!

      Well it is pretty expensive for them to sign these fighters since they have to do it individually. At least they added some game modes which could improve the value of the DLC if they're any good.

    It's a shame…this game had the chance to be good, I was so excited when it came out but was completely dissapointed. I sold it last month. Would be nice to play with those three fighters though :)

    Your taking a look at boxers and features that in the days before DLC rape, would have been in the retail version of the game. FUCK THIS

    They just handled wrong… they treated this game like the next coming of jesus (and leaving button punching out initially? wow) and it shows, poor sales.

      Pretty good way to sum it up.

    Dropping the price is pretty smart since used copies are running at $44…This guarantees a new copy is purchased and with the new DLC, the total would run $52 (with tax for the actual game)….

    What I don't understand is why companies wait so damned long to release DLC…I enjoyed FN4, SIX MONTHS AGO when it was released!!!

    EA isn't the only company that drops DLC and drops it way after the original release. Brutal…

    I rented this game for the PS3 and I don't think I've ever been as disappointed in a sports title. I think for the novice gamer like me the controls simply weren't responsive enough which proves a big turn off when you only have so many hours to sink into a game.

    Although the earlier Fight Night games may not have looked as good I thought they were far more fun. I used the stick with those games on the old Xbox and it seemed much easier. I think that might be partly by many people wanted the button punching.
