Nacon and Eko Software have announced a new game in the rugby franchise called Rugby 22. The game is planned for a release in January 2022 on consoles and PC.
When launched, the game will be available to play on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Paris-based development studio, Eko Software, has used all expertise in creating sports gaming to bring the next Rugby title with many improvements in this latest simulation game. Eko Software is already worked on games like Handball 21, Rugby 18, and Rugby 20.
Benoît Clerc, Head of Publishing at NACON talked about the goal of the new edition,
Rugby 22 continues and builds upon the great work started by Eko Software on the previous two games. We want to offer rugby fans the most authentic and complete experience possible with updated gameplay that has incorporated many improvements based on player feedback on the previous titles and by including official teams and competitions never seen before in a rugby simulation.
Rugby 22 will feature official teams and competitions, but players can also find top leagues with all the official clubs, as well as the major national teams like France, Italy, Ireland, and Japan among others. The game will also let you play as the sport’s current star players and choose your favorite teams to compete against with their friends in multiplayer.
The game has just been announced and is likely in the middle of development. While we don’t have any screenshots or a teaser trailer, Nacon might release more information and details as the year progresses. The game’s launch is planned immediately in the first month of next year, we expect a ton of videos, trailers, details to start flowing in the fall season of this year.
