The highly anticipated EA UFC game series is unveiling its fifth installment today, marking October 27, 2023, as the release date for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. As fans and gamers alike prepare to dive into the action, it’s worth noting that while the game does bring many exciting elements to the table, it falls short in certain aspects, leaving room for further refinement and development. 

The latest installment of the game has chosen Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko as the featured cover fighters, and there’s also a special edition with Israel Adesanya. The game generated a substantial amount of pre-release excitement and anticipation.

This particular detail has led to moments of awkwardness and raised questions among players and fans, as it doesn’t align with what they expected from the character in the game.
