I just did a search on Google Bard to see if it picks up any info on Rugby 24, and this is the result. I doubt that it is official, just think it picked up CW’s claim. I definitely think we are getting an announcement of another delay. I hope I am wrong!!
The latest official news on Rugby 24 is that the game is still on track for its official release on January 30th, 2024. Here’s the current breakdown:
Release Date:January 30th, 2024 (confirmed by Big Ant Studios) Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC
Trailer:
While no official trailer has dropped yet, Big Ant Studios CEO Ross Symons confirmed in early January that the initial trailer should be released sometime in mid-January. This means it could drop any day now!
Other Recent News:
There have been active discussions on the Big Ant Studios community forum, with fans speculating about features, platforms, and gameplay mechanics.
Some news outlets have published articles based on community discussions and speculation, but none of this information is officially confirmed by Big Ant Studios.
Things to keep an eye on:
The official Rugby 24 Twitter account (@rugbythegame) is a good source for official updates and announcements.
The Big Ant Studios community forum can be a useful source of information and discussion, but remember to take community speculation with a grain of salt.
Overall, it’s an exciting time for Rugby 24 fans! With the release date just around the corner, it’s likely we’ll see more official information and footage in the coming days. Stay tuned!
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Wouldnt it be awesome for BigAnt to set up an actual stream using content creators to create Rugby Matches.
Bears and CW both make their teams using the card system (if its in the game)
Stick the game on 20-30 minutes.
Get some content creators for pre-match and half time analysis.
I would happily stick my hand up to do commentary over the game with somebody else.
And then have some post match interviews with the players after the game.
Lets turn it in to a proper E-Sport, and then rotate players to play each other, and different people commentating over the games!
Hope in the future with rugby 24 maybe you guys can do marketing on online tournaments with your youtube channels we are a big community with RC4 playing online tournaments. But its not that popular you guys have alot of followers that might can turn it into a big thing.
I can’t see it being awful. Yes the promotion is lacking but I still strongly believe once it is released it will be one of the best rugby games we have had in recent years.
Big Ant are well known for their customisation features, and both AFL 23 and Cricket 24 have launched with those which will be a big inclusion for a Rugby games that more recent titles have lacked.
Plus with the level of licenses they seem to be going for, we will have quite the amount of players and teams to utilise while playing.
If we get a trailer for a 30th release, odds on it will come out this week commencing 15th, my bet would be tuesday as it is exactly 2 weeks before releae.
You guys have great attitudes. We gotta support this game regardless since it’s really the only option for us fans. I feel bad that this is this marketing strategy but you guys make me feel better about the release.
No way…didn’t realize their rugby league games were so well received. What do they do well in those that you anticipate translating over? If you answered this in your YouTube video sorry, but I did just subscribe to you!
So the anticipation is reaching fever pitch. Hoorah.
Do we know which leagues are included yet?
You won’t get an EAFC experience because I assume you’ll be able to customise stuff which hasn’t been part of FIFA for ages.
Looking forward to seeing Faf’s hair dynamics…
I have to challenge you here. There’s knowing sports via authenticity and presentation(fans)…and then knowing sports from the technical and mechanical perspective(professionals). They lack the latter. I’ve seen it across multiple disciplines, but it’s the same formula. The immersion, details, customization, depth of features is all there; but the actual understanding of the core mechanics of each sport is not at the same level.
It reads to me more like pure sports fans, versus actual students of the sports. I feel they would bode well to start bringing in actual professionals (I don’t mean licensed players/teams) during dev time.
Maybe. I just wanted to show what is possible having made a bunch of stuff for AFL 23 ( Academy Creations - AFL 23 - Big Ant Studios Community Forum). Making logos is rather time consuming as it needs to be in SVG format and under 400 nodes. When I did the Big Ant tour i found they were just using Jpgs to make the game (not for modding) which would be ideal.
Like before AFL23’s release I made the Southland Jersey from 2001 with the Cricket 22 editor team which can be downloaded for free on steam.
Not sure whether I’ll buy the Rugby game. To mod it on PC and play it on PS5 I’d have to buy it twice…
As for the Stags, remember you catch more flies with honey
Re the passing, although the animations werent that great in rugby league live i preferred the mechanic of pressing for short pass or holding the pass button and pressing a face button to do a miss pass, and the double tap face button for a flat ball. I hope that is implemented with better animations, ie passing less floaty and players run onto the flat balls etc
Passing in RLL4 was pretty terrible compared to RLL3! Couldn’t properly draw and pass, passing was really floaty and far too many interceptions. Hopefully this is vastly improved as it’s a pretty major mechanic
