Big Ant Studios has revealed the next installment in its Cricket series, Cricket 24. The studio’s next game is set to be released during The Ashes series in Australia later this year.
This year’s cricket game will feature improved graphics and realistic gameplay. Big Ant Studios has also worked hard on the licensing side of the game. Cricket 24 will have the most licensing and Indian representation than any cricket game before.
There isn’t an official release date for the game yet, but the developer suggests the game will be out by The Ashes series this July.
