UFC 5 Fans to Choose New Fighters Ahead of March Showdown

HOBART, Tasmania — Ahead of the highly anticipated UFC 313 event on March 8, EA Sports has launched a player vote in UFC 5, allowing fans to select two new Alter Egos to be featured in the game. Voting is currently live within the game and will continue until March 10 at 1 p.m. ET.

Alter Egos offer alternative versions of popular athletes, inspired by significant moments from their careers. Players can cast two votes for their favorite duo from a pool of eight potential selections. Each vote contributes not only to deciding the new fighters but also to unlocking exclusive in-game rewards offered by EA Sports to incentivize participation.

Players can earn these rewards by achieving specific milestones during the voting period, although the official results will not be revealed until April 2025. This initiative showcases EA Sports’ commitment to engaging the community and enhancing the gaming experience.

In conjunction with the player vote, UFC 5 is also celebrating the Fight Week leading up to UFC 313 by introducing new Fight Week Challenges, as well as a content drop that sees Iasmin Lucindo added as a playable fighter. Along with Lucindo, the latest update includes three additional Alter Egos representing Colby Covington (UFC 272), Edson Barboza (UFC FN 106), and Jan Błachowicz (UFC 259).

These updates reflect the ongoing evolution of UFC 5 and the developers’ dedication to keeping the game fresh and engaging for its players.
