EA Sports UFC release date announced

The EA Sports UFC release date will be June 17, 2014.

EA announced the date for its new UFC video game, and that icon Bruce Lee will be part of it, Monday.

Fans can either pre-order the game to get one-day access to the "Father of Mixed Martial Arts," according to the release, or complete the game's career mode at pro difficulty to unlock him.

"I am so excited about this opportunity to bring my father back to videogames!" said Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee’s daughter, CEO of Bruce Lee, LLC and Chairperson of the Bruce Lee Foundation in the statement. "I’m thrilled that fans can now interact with him in a new way. The EA SPORTS UFC development team has been incredible to work with, and they've done a great job capturing the look and feel of my father. I think people will love getting a chance to fulfill a fight fantasy by playing Bruce Lee in the new UFC game."
