Having originally planned to launch in partnership with the 2023 World 🐭Cup, the developers of Rugby 24 have admitted that the game has been delayed for so long that they've been forced to rename it.

In a statement last night, Big Ant Studios confirmed that Rugby 24 is now Rugby 25. Apologizing for the💧 "significant delay" in br♋inging the game to players, it acknowledges that "this delay has caused us to now focus on the 2024 and 2025 season, hence we have decided to appropriately rename Rugby 24."

Accompanying the news of the rename, however, is the news that the game's long delays are finally over. Rugby 25 is launching into early access on Steam later today, June 28. 21 national teams will be available, with more coming over the course of the early access period. Big Ant is eventual🌟ly planning to include more than 140 national teams and 150 clubs to the game.

Rugby 24 was initially scheduled tꦫo release as part of an official partnership with the 2023 World Cup, which took place in France last Fall. Its original name, however, was in keeping with its initial p🥃lanned release date of January 2024. A delay pushed that date back until March, however, when a second indefinite delay hit the game. 

That delay is now over, but moved the release date back so far that we're only a few months away from the start of the 2025 rugby season in theꦺ northern hemisphere. In keeping with naming conventions established in no small part with EꦍA's industry-leading sports titles, that all-but forced Rugby 24 to become Rugby 25. Whether those multiple delays will have resulted in an increase in the quality that Big Ant was looking for remains to be seen, but at least we won't have to wait long to find out.
