Two years since the last title in the series, and the closing (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/06/ea-shuts-down-chicago-studio/) of the development office responsible for the franchise, EA has announced plans to release Fight Night Round 4 sometime next year for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Few details on the new release exist besides the mention of a new physics and gameplay engine (will it bare the Freestyle (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/07/ea-reveals-casual-sub-brand-freestyle/) brand too?). The most interesting addition to the series is the inclusion of former World Champion Mike Tyson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_tyson), his first videogame appearance in <strike>over</strike> nearly a decade. Insert ear-biting joke here.

Source? cause if so, that sucks.

I made that up cause its funny imagining Tyson after he got his career pounded into dust being put into a game... That would be like post Larry Holmes Ali being in a game

This is probably the best news ever!

Post-Douglas Tyson....lol. Features: little head movement, few combos, gives up after first couple rounds.

I hope goliath and big e are in the game.
Please god!!

it's gotta be the prime iron mike, not the washed up one

I hope goliath and big e are in the game.
Please god!!

You think they'll bring back the burger king?

if you didn't notice my post was sarcasm.

But I was serious. Do you think they'll bring back the Burger King as a cutman?

I hope Kelly Pavlik, Larry Holmes, Kessler(which he probably wont), Calzaghe, NOrton, and Marciano is in it.

no wait JACK JOSHNSON AND JACK DEMPSEY LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! AND JOE LOUIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD TRULY LOVE THIS GAME THEN.!!!!!!1

But I was serious. Do you think they'll bring back the Burger King as a cutman?
