Re: Rugby Challenge

Just really they have online updates or allow users to fully customise teams. With the SUper Rugby season about to end, there will be plenty of player movement between now and March.

It makes sense to release a game now with the World Cup around the corner, but it's kind of awkward from a club perspective.

The customisation options are extensive.

So far the only announcement regarding release has been that it will be out in time for the Rugby World Cup. More detail will be forthcoming once finalised.

If I can answer a question I will, so feel free to ask

I am hoping this comes out in North America as I enjoy rugby games and they have taught me alot about the sport. I still have EA's Rugby 08 for the PS2 that I play from time to time.

HES hasn't finalised distribution in all territories yet, but their team is hard at work doing so. At this point we can confirm New Zealand, Australia, France, and the UK, with more to come. Watch the Rugby Challenge website, our Twitter and Facebook streams (both user-names sidhenz), and our forums for updates.

Sorry for the double-post. I forgot to include a link to this morning's new screen-shots when I posted earlier:

Thanks for coming to update us Milla! It's great to have someone directly associated with the product posting.

Re: Rugby Challenge

Yeah, thanks for the coming to update us Milla.

I can't wait for the game to come out. As a long-time rugby player and sports gamer I've been dreaming of a next-gen union title for too long. Looks like you guys have a ton of passion for this project and I hope this is only the first edition of a successful new sports game franchise.

Re: Rugby Challenge

No problem.

Passion is right. The team have eaten, slept, and breathed Rugby, gained bruises, lost sleep, learned a bunch of new tricks, and had a lot of laughs. It's been huge

Re: Rugby Challenge

It says region free on the website. So if it doesn't come out in US, I can import it right?

Correct, though HES is still finalising distribution.
