Looking forward to be a pro. Sevens mode sounds pretty interesting also.

Afew things i would like to see, more complex stats for individuals for the be a pro mode. Eg meters gained, line breaks, tackles, tackle breaks, turnovers, metres ran.

Also goal kicking metre needs an upgrade, on the hardest mode in was impossible to kick goals.

I also wonder how they will change the rucks for be a pro mode

Wish we could get a solid release date. The experienced rugby game youtubers seem to think it'll be in October-November, but who knows what the NA distribution will be like.

I don't see why it wouldn't be available digitally.

You would think it will be released around the World Cup. Logic to put it out when all the World Cup hype is around

Just buy it from Amazon UK. Did that with RC2 was fine. Maybe paid $8 more than I would have at retail here.

Wouldn't they send the PAL version? Or do the RC games work on North American consoles regardless?

Yes if a game is region free, like Rugby Challenge has been, it will work. In our HD generation PAL and NTSC don't matter anymore. I imported RC2, it was PAL and worked fine on my 360 and HDTV.

so are all PS4 games global then?

man i am excited for this game. I wish they had a friggin' website or marketing dept that was putting out more information than a couple paragraphs and screenshots.

For anyone who played RC2 - does this include all the club teams and their leagues/seasons? Then can you qualify for the new format European Cups that started last year?

All of the southern hemisphere teams will be in for sure. Not sure about European clubs and competitions.

Re: the release date: more than likely, if it's like RC2, they will announce the release date a month out from release. So, hopefully we get an announcement by mid-September, which would mean the game would be out earlier in the last quarter of the year.

Rugby World Cup 2015 will be out Sept 5, FYI. But no one is expecting that to be any good, lol.

This game should be released sometime during the World Cup which is Sept 18 - Oct 31. I would bet around Oct 1st, which means news any day now based on past releases.


Mighty Ape New Zealand is accepting preorders and the date is listed at Sept. 25th:

has anyone heard more details about release date and such? I'm starting to wonder if this game is even real at this point. Amazing how little marketing has been done.

I have heard from a few youtubers that in mid-October we should get word on when the release will be. This is based on email messages they've had with the developer, so obviously nothing is set in stone or official.

Available in the States?

Please tell me there's been some kind of news on a release date that I'm just not seeing elsewhere...anything?

Nope, nothing official. I heard the game will be playable at a NZ gaming expo in a few weeks, and I'm thinking by then we'll know. Mid-to-late November is a decent guess.
