Cricket 24 is shaping up to be the franchise’s most comprehensive entry yet, with producers Big Ant Studios aiming for the Indian subcontinent to boost sales. The game’s release date was announced in an official post on October 5, 2023. While this is a delay from previous projections, Big Ant Studios has also provided a quick glimpse into what fans might expect.
The absence of proper licences has been a key challenge for the brand. While the English and Australian teams have always had authenticity, subcontinent cricket supporters have not been that fortunate.
This is set to change with Cricket 24, which has been delayed due to the increased number of licences and impending content.
Big Ant Studios plans to release Cricket 24 on October 5, 2023, assuming no further delays. The game will be accessible on PC and will support both versions of PlayStation and Xbox platforms. The forthcoming edition will have more licenced teams and stadiums than ever before, according to the makers.
Until now, the brand has mostly catered to English and Australian cricket fans and the focus will once again be on the Ashes. Cricket 23 will allow its users to recreate the historic rivalry and create their version of history. However, there’s more to come, as several T20 leagues from around the world have been added.
Pakistan Super League, Caribbean Premier League, and The Hundred are among the new entrants. While the Indian Premier League as a competition may not be available, several franchises are expected to be fully licenced. The game will contain over 200 cricketers with full photogrammetry, as well as over 50 licenced stadiums throughout the world.
Big Ant Studios intends to ensure that users may have fun with their friends without being constrained by the platform in Cricket 24. Crossplay will be available in all appropriate game modes. Gamers will be able to share their personalised creations with the community via the Academy function.
