14 DAY TRIAL // Rugby Challenge 2: The Lions Tour Edition, a new version of the rugby simulation, is set to launch on the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the PC, with development handled by New Zealand-based studio Sidhe.
The game is designed to introduce new gameplay features, including quick taps, quick lineouts and better handling of the ball, in addition to new modes focused on the British Lion Tour of Australia.
The title features 110 teams and more than 50 stadiums from across the world, including the All Blacks, the Qantas Wallabies and teams from the Aviva Premiership.
Tyrone McAuley, technical director for Sidhe, states, “Tighter controls, smoother animation, and smarter AI improve the title moment to moment, while additions such as significant new Northern Hemisphere content create a more global and well rounded game.”
The game should be out before the end of summer.
