A fan-favorite PlayStation 2 and PS3-era action game series is making a surprise return, publisher Electronic Arts has announced. Boxing franchise Fight Night hasn’t seen a new entry in 15 years, but that’s all set to change.

EA action game series Fight Night hasn’t seen a new entry since PlayStation 3’s Fight Night Champion

EA dropped the bomb on X, announcing Fight Night’s return with an image showing a pair of gloves. No further information was shared.

We don’t know how far away a new entry is or whether we’ll see it on the PS5 or PS6. However, given EA’s history, even if the next Fight Night lands after the PS6’s launch, we expect a cross-gen title.

Fight Night debuted in 2004 on the PS2 and spawned a total of five games. Its last entry was 2011’s PS3 title Fight Night Champion, which received positive reviews.

“Step into the ring as some of the greatest boxers to ever don the gloves – including Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson – as you discover the undisputed champion of boxing games in Fight Night,” EA’s official description of the series reads. “Whether you choose to play as one of today’s best or a boxing legend, you’ll fight in one of the most exciting boxer line-ups of all-time.”
