NACON and Eko Software are pleased to unveil the Rugby 22 launch trailer to celebrate the launch of this flagship rugby game today. All the elements that define the sport’s identity come together in an immersive experience for rugby fans!
Several major national teams are entering a RUGBY licensed game for the first time, including the Wallabies, Australia’s official team, and the New Zealand All Blacks, two teams known for their greatest achievements and the rousing atmosphere that accompanied! The All Blacks, alongside the French team, have been selected by the studio for a first step towards photogrammetry technology, allowing the players’ faces to be reproduced as faithfully as possible in the game.
A true simulation, Rugby 22 allows players to enjoy all the elements of modern rugby: the official teams, tactical adjustments before and during the match, pod play options, instant passing after contact and executing combinations. All rugby fans will love the way they can experience their sport in this game.
