Fight Night Round 4 downloadable content release coming in August 2009

Take this Fight Night Round 4 DLC sucka!
Electronic Arts has announced the Fight Night Round 4 DLC that will be coming this August, 2009.

The first DLC pack, which will be available for free to both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 users will include a new training gym, new gameplay sliders, as well as a host of new equipment that can be used for outfitting boxers. Xbox 360 users will also receive an exclusive alternate version of Sugar Ray Leonard in their first DLC pack, courtesy of Pizza Hut.

EA Sports will also be releasing a free downloadable game update by early September that will allow gamers to use face buttons on the Xbox 360 and PS3 game controllers to throw punches, hooks, uppercuts and haymakers.

“The depth and variety of new content we have planned this summer is going to make one of the most critically acclaimed games on the market even better,” said senior producer, Dean Richards. “Among the new content in development, our new button control scheme will give fans a choice for how they want to throw punches in the game. We strongly believe that the refined Total Punch Control is the most intuitive way to throw punches in Fight Night Round 4, but we also want fans of the franchise to have an option.”

Update: Electronic Arts has announced they’ll release a downloadable boxer pack, adding boxers like Oscar De La Hoya, Vitali Klitschko, and Wladimir Klitschko to the game, as well as alternate versions of James Toney and George Foreman. The pricing is set at $9.99 or 800 Microsoft points.
