Cricket 2013 delayed until November

Been wondering where that Cricket 2013 release went? Well annoy your local retailer no longer as the game has been pushed back all the way to November later this year.

The delay will put the release of the game closer to the second Ashes series. The game was due to come out in time for the first one this past June.

“It is hugely disappointing that 505 Games has had to make this announcement today. We all had high hopes of bringing out a stellar cricket game during the first leg of this unprecedented Ashes year.  But the fact of the matter is, we took a long hard look at the game as it stands and decided it simply wasn’t good enough in its current state. It was simply not worthy of the Ashes name.”

“Unforeseen issues which developer Trickstar faced in latter stages of development have meant that they have been unable to do the requisite amount of polishing and fine-tuning which any game needs. We owe it to ourselves, to our licensors, the ECB and Cricket Australia, but most of all to the dedicated cricket fans and gamers to put our best foot forward.”

The game is still set to be released on the Wii U.
