EA Explains Why Bruce Lee Is in EA Sports UFC

After EA yesterday unveiled that Bruce Lee will be a playable fighter in EA Sports UFC, now explains why he has joined the game.

Brian Hayes, creative director for EA Sports UFC gave a short explanation as to why Lee is in the game: "It’s. Bruce. Lee ..." he said on the game's website. "You have the premier organization in the fastest-growing sport in the world, the UFC, and the most iconic martial artist in the history of the world, Bruce Lee — a martial artist renowned for his philosophies that laid the groundwork for modern mixed martial arts. I can’t conceive of a universe where bringing these two things together doesn’t make sense."

Art director Ian Lloyd revealed that it was not easy putting the late Lee into EA Sports UFC.

"When one thinks of Bruce Lee’s body what comes to mind is not a person, in the traditional sense, but rather a ‘super-human’ expression of coiled power, control and flexibility," Lloyd said. "... We had to find a balance between a passive and active anatomy that focused on ensuring a powerful iconic read while still delivering a dynamic range of muscle flex."

But at the end it is worth it, with Lloyd saying "seeing Bruce Lee walk out and enter the Octagon to fight in the UFC for the first time is a surreal and truly sensational experience." EA Sports UFC releases June 17 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
