EA's upcoming sports titles will be powered by 'Ignite', a brand new engine that the publisher promises will "blur the line between real and virtual".

The video below showcases snapshots of FIFA, NFL, NBA and UFC with high-quality visuals.

The footage does, however, appear to be pre-rendered CGI, rather than real-time visuals representing actual PS4 and Xbox One games, but EA is yet to confirm either way.

EA today announced it has entered into a "broad strategic partnership" with Microsoft for titles on the Xbox One, confirming the development of FIFA, NBA Live, Madden NFL and UFC games for the new console.
