Big Ant Studios and Nacon have revealed exciting details about their upcoming cricket title, Cricket 24. The game is set to offer an array of new features and gameplay modes that will elevate the gaming experience for cricket enthusiasts. Releasing soon on 5th October 2023, Cricket 24 promises to be the most immersive and realistic cricket video game ever.
One of the major highlights of Cricket 24 is the inclusion of more licenses than any previous cricket game. Players can look forward to participating in various tournaments such as The Ashes, Big Bash, The Hundred, and the Caribbean Premier League. Notably, the game is also expected to feature a number of professional Indian T20 teams, though the specific teams have not been officially announced yet.
Gameplay Features and Gamemodes We Can Expect in Cricket 24
To enhance the gaming experience, Cricket 24 will introduce an overhauled fielding system, offering players the most realistic and responsive fielding controls ever seen in a cricket video game.
Additionally, the game will have cross-platform support, allowing players to compete against friends and top players from around the world regardless of their gaming platform. This feature will also enable users to create and share custom content like stadiums, players, and teams with the academy.
Career Mode will receive significant improvements, allowing players to follow the journey of their chosen player from a club cricketer to representing their nation on the international stage. This mode provides players with more control over their destiny, enabling them to focus on becoming a short-format hero, excel in Test cricket, or balance both formats on their way to cricketing stardom.
The new Pro Team feature, similar to FIFA's Ultimate Team, will allow players to collect player cards and build their dream cricket teams. Players can take on weekly challenges in single-player gameplay or compete online against others, adding an exciting dimension to team-building through the Auction mode.
In terms of the gaming platforms, Cricket 24 will initially release for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, with free upgrades available to the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions. Nintendo Switch users will have to wait until November to get their hands on the game.
As Cricket 24's release date draws near, cricket fans and gaming enthusiasts alike can pre-order the game to be among the first to experience its thrilling new features and gameplay modes. With its comprehensive representation of global cricket and an unparalleled gaming experience, Cricket 24 is poised to become a must-play title for cricket fans worldwide.
