Mike Tyson - Image 1 When EA Sports closed down its Chicago studios, fans of the acclaimed Fight Night boxing series got worried that they won't have a pugilist sim to pound on for the next few years. Fortunately, that's not the case as EA Sports Vancouver has taken over the reins and is set to deliver Fight Night Round 4.

Currently in development, Fight Night Round 4 will be released on the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360. It's due out in 2009, so you might as well use that waiting period to brush off the old moves in previous installments like Fight Night Round 3.

EA Vancouver promises a deeper-than-ever level of realism with style and technique differences among boxers. Gameplay and graphics will now be knit more tightly as an engine with true-to-physics visuals will be used.

To boot, the roster of champs in Fight Night Round 4 will include a comprehensive list of all-time greats including controversial power puncher Mike Tyson. The brawler hasn't been seen ion a video game for more than a decade, making this comeback a double whammy. We'll keep you posted for more on it.

Let's all exchange gamertags and PSN IDs when this one hits because I'm ready to rumble too!



Yes, ear biting PLEASE!



And I hope a lot of current fighters get included in the mix. I want this to be more contemporary than museum-like. No disrespect to the legends, too, of course.
