Women’s Ashes competition will play a major role in the excitement and authenticity of
Ashes Cricket
The English tour of Australia is underway, with the first of seven
games between the women’s Australian and English teams beginning today
in Brisbane. To celebrate the occasion, game developer Big Ant Studios
have released
new visuals
of some of the most popular players, to be appearing in the Ashes Cricket video game.
“Women’s cricket is rightfully growing in popularity across the world, and we wanted to do our part to highlight
the incredible athleticism of the sport through Ashes Cricket,”
Big Ant CEO, Ross Symons said. “We’re looking forward to a thrilling
competition between the women’s teams on the field this year, and we’re
also looking forward to enabling gamers
to decide the fate of their very own virtual Ashes.”
Just
like with the men’s teams, Big Ant Studios have invested in creating
photorealistic renders of each of the
players involved in the Ashes for the game. Full motion capture
sessions have also taken place in order to ensure the flow of each
batsman’s swing and bowler’s action is as authentic as in real life.
“We first included women players and teams in
Don Bradman Cricket 17, and it was a feature that players
really appreciated,” Symons said. “The inclusion of the female teams
gives even more depth and variety to the game. It’s been a privilege
working with each of the players to further enhance
what we can offer gamers with the women’s competition in Ashes Cricket.”
Players
will also be able to play through the full career mode as a woman, just
as they will for the men’s game,
bringing a rookie up through the ranks until they finally earn the
opportunity to represent their nation in the greatest competition in
cricket.
Ashes Cricket
will be available on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC on November 16, 2017. Pre-orders are now open!
