EA has announced that a new fighting title is in development at EA Tiburon in Orlando (known for its work on the Madden NFL and Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchises). Titled EA Sports MMA, the game will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2010.

Based on mixed martial arts fighting, EA Sports MMA will feature “the most authentic, intense and broad mixed martial arts experience to date , and will set a new bar for online sports competition – complete with a vast array of top fighters and fighting styles from around the world.”

“With Fight Night Round 4 set to deliver a knockout with industry-leading visuals and genre-defining gameplay later this month, I couldn’t be more excited to announce the expansion of our combat sports strategy with EA SPORTS MMA coming in 2010,” said EA SPORTS President Peter Moore.

“Fans have been begging EA SPORTS to get into the cage, and EA SPORTS MMA will put them in control of the sport’s unique combat experience while finally, in an immersive interactive experience, capturing the raw intensity that has made mixed martial arts one of the fastest growing sports in the world. We’re ready for the fight.”
