With the recent delay of Champions Pack II for XBOX 360 users, we wanted to get in some questions with the devs on what the timing looks like for when the content will be re-released which will also include a further title update for both consoles. From what they had to say, it looks like we're still looking at mid to end of January for the re-release. Along with this we also received some information about the how and why it all it went down to help gamers better understand the process behind the decisions around the update.
Big thanks to Mike Mahar and Brian Hayes who've always been up front with the community, as well as to the community itself for their continuing support months after the game has shipped. Happy Holidays fight fans and we'll see you in the new year!

With today's announcement of the DLC coming in December, we also wanted to add that a free component will also be made available at the same time consisting of a new Title Update and more free Gear. Here's a quick blog from Producer Mike Mahar:
Hello Fight Night 4 fans,
Over the last couple of months our community members have been providing us with feedback and we thank you for that.
We're extremely flattered to know we have a dedicated group of passionate fans who are willing to spend time playing the game and providing us with insight into how it may be improved.
Brizzo and I have been on Podcasts, the forums, and PM's answering your questions, and while we didn't have time to add all the feature requests into the game, we significantly overhauled some of the game play elements to address your online gameplay concerns. Here is a list of some of high profile additions you can expect in the next update.
Game Play Updates
- Adjusted the locomotion speed at close proximity so that your opponent can no longer trap you with glued feet
- Increased the stamina cost when continually punching
- Increased stamina loss when continually weaving
- Increased stamina loss for users that spam upper body movement
- Can no longer perform a perfect block when spamming the block
- Increased the stamina cost when continually running away from your opponent
- No illegal blows can be thrown by either user when one user is in a stun state
- Increased stamina cost of Haymakers
- Tuned punch accuracy when opponents are moving their head
- Reduced locomotion speed when throwing punch combos
Create Player Updates
- Allow users to duplicate and edit ratings of licensed boxers
Online World Championship Updates
- Improved cheat detection logic
General Updates
- Various Bug fixes
These updates will be available for FREE. Also available for free are over a dozen new Create Boxer accessories including Boots, Trunks, and Gloves.
As mentioned in a previous blog, you can choose to purchase all of the DLC content at the bundled price OR you can choose to purchase each game mode and boxer separately.
The bundled price will save you some coin, but ultimately it's your choice what you purchase. Final prices are still being locked down so be on the lookout for more information coming soon.
We hope you enjoy the game play changes and the free gear. See you online!
-Mike
