Fight Night Round 4 announced with Mike Tyson

Realistic boxing game coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2009.

According to the announcement made today, Fight Night Round 4 will be made using a revamped game engine to further authenticate the fighting styles, punch impacts, and blocking moves of each respective boxer, including Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.

A newly included physics system also allows for missed jabs, glancing punches, knockout blows, and rough and tumble inside fighting.

"Fight Night Round 3 was a platform defining game as the industry transitioned to next generation consoles," said Kevin Wilkinson, EA Sports executive producer. "Fight Night Round 4 will change how boxing games are played and measured in the future."

Fight Night Round 4 is one of two boxing games being developed by EA Canada. The arcade-friendly Facebreaker launches on Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii this September.
