Fight Night Round 4 to mark Mike Tyson's triumphant return to videogames

Electronic Arts and EA Sports have officially announced their return to the ring with Fight Night Round 4, set to ship next year for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The EA Vancouver developed title will feature a completely re-written gameplay engine that is designed around a physics-based animation system. A variety of legendary boxers and fighting styles will be weaved into the game, including the brawling style of Mike Tyson and the speed of Muhammad Ali. Yeah, you read that right -- I said Mike Tyson, who will make his first appearance in a videogame since 2002's Codemasters' digital pugilism disaster, Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing.

The closure of EA Chicago -- the studio previously responsible for the excellent Fight Night titles -- was a startling blow for fans of the series. EA Vancouver has a lot to live up to when the title ships to stores in 2009.
