rugby2012

Rugby 2012 has recently been announced and the game is being developed by HB studios,who will eventually use EA sports to publish the title for current HD consoles. This will be the first Rugby game for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

It was only a matter of time until another Rugby game would be made, as the previous game, Rugby 2008 published under EA, which was released towards the end of 2007, became one of the top selling titles in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

As of Tuesday the 5th of April, The official announcement for Rugby 2011 was made and can be read here. The game has been retitled to Rugby World Cup 2011 and will be published by 505 games, who also published backbreaker.

If these clever chaps over at HB studios continue with their project, we will see a release of this fantastic sporting title near to the end of 2011 (to obviously tie in with the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand). HB studios are developing the game in partnership with the TRF Rugby Forum which can be visited here to follow the progress of this beautiful game. Also check out the featured discussion about what we want to see in Rugby 2012 here.

Stay tuned to Gamescastlive for news and updates on Rugby 2012.

Just a year and a few months left till Rugby madness. Until then, rugby fanatics can get their fix from a great rugby title called Rugby League 3, which was released in March for the Wii.

Watch the video of Rugby League 3 below.

    Oh really? It’s just a pity the rugby forum mods and crew are a bunch of total dickheads… clueless morons who are deluded by their own importance…. f*** the TRF…. anyway should it not be the RF? Idiots…

    Anyway, good to see we finally get the predictable world cup tie in game…. hey pricks, start releasing annual games for us or at the very least biannual… the market is bigger than those annual american sport titles… FACT. So stop being racist and disrestpectful. Booyaa!!

    Hoping they allow two computer controlled players (like the rugby league) game

    Lets see it being realistic and not as cheap and as rushed looking as this new rugby league game. I hope it’s realistic and has good creative options for the creation of players.

      • http://gamescastlive.com Jeremy Proome

        ITM Cup has been confirmed for Rugby Challenge, which is also a Union game releasing around the same time as Rugby 2012. Look out for it :)

    The stupid thing is we have had no rugby games for years and know we are likely to see 3 released nearly at once.
    That really doesn’t make business sense now does it.

  • Jimmy

    I am still dumb-founded as to why every rugby league game that comes out is absolutely shit it makes me wonder if these “developers” are nothing but a bunch of high school dropouts on crack like seriously I understand they might not have there hands on the technology and money that EA Sports might but come on, the players are like robots, the AI is as stupid as homer when he is drunk and the gameplay itself is nearly unplayable and as a huge league fan i I’m so disappointed seems like we will never get a quality league game. But thankfully nearly every rugby game that has come out has been very good and i can’t wait for the new one might not be league but at least it will be a quality game.

    Is the rugby 2012 game going to be better than the rugby world cup game.

  • http://Enteryourwebsite... craig

    I want to see the super 15,tri nations,six nations,aviva cup/heiniken cup,the lions tour,the itm cup you can even add the currie cup!! Just like fifa 11.. What’s wrong with rugby that you can’t produce as much games as fifa because I see 012 is already out! And please just get licenses for all the teams… Shit it was dissapointing to not see sonny bill and cooper in the world cup game!! Fuck you can sell this game for R800,just get it done with.. Even if it has 2 be a dubble disc!! Electronic arts I think they must leave all sports games to ya’ll!

  • Asap

    Rugby 2012… Hurry up!!!!!!

  • Guest

    If a new rugby game is being made please could you add a ultimate team feature to it like they did on the FIFA games

  • Guest

    Absolutely agree with below comment… and Ultimate Team style game would be fantastic! A customisable team (with real names) and realistic stats. Perfect.

  • Sam

    Make sure you liscense the teams this time and have a career mode more like the rugby league series (1,2,3 and live)

  • Ludjo-SA

    I just want to be able to import myself into the game. see how i play watch my stats grow from season to season and when i “retire” see how i would have done against the greats, if FIFA and Rugby worked together to create this kind of game, we would have a winner on our hands,
