Fight Night 4 laces its gloves

The industry has had to wait a long time to catch its first glimpse of EA’s upcoming Fight Night Round 4, but the moment will arrive at next month’s Spike TV Video Game Awards,

EA officially announced the title in May, but to date only selected retail partners and journalists have had the chance to take a look at it.

Now Kotaku reports that the title, which is set to feature the likeness of notorious ear-biter and womaniser Mike Tyson, will be displayed in full video form at the Spike ceremony on December 14th.

The boxing genre has suffered a bit in recent times with both EA’s own Facebreaker and 2K’s Don King Presents Prizefighter failing to perform on a critical or commercial level. However, Fight Night 3 was a big success for EA and still stands up as one of the best next-gen sports titles to date, despite being two years old.

The game is scheduled for release on both Xbox 360 and PS3 next year.
