In AO Tennis 2, tennis fans can take themselves from the outside courts to centre-stage glory in the all-new narrative-driven career mode.

Players can once again use Big Ant’s celebrated content editor, which was loved by the community in AO Tennis, to customise every element of their game. Furthermore, all content created and shared by users since the first game from 2018 will be available in AO Tennis 2. That’s over 20,000 players and hundreds of courts that can be enjoyed by fans of the sport.

For fans that want to relive the glories of their favourite players, AO Tennis 2 includes a roster of some of the brightest talents across both the ATP and WTA, including Rafael Nadal, Ash Barty, Angélique Kerber and many others. All venues that will be used in the 2020 Australian Open will also be available in the game, so fans can enjoy maximum authenticity as they play along with the Australian summer of tennis.

Cricket 19 – The Official Game of the Ashes

Cricket 19 – The Official Game of the 2019 Ashes Championship is the complete cricket simulation. Featuring a suite of exciting all-new features that add even greater depth and rich new content to Big Ant Studios’ acclaimed cricket engine, Cricket 19 allows players to truly play the game their way.

Key features in Cricket 19 include:

Take on the challenge of the Ashes
Cricket 19 is fully licensed for this year’s Ashes championship. Lead the English or Australian teams to glory across all five matches of the Ashes competition, with photo-realistic player renders and recreations of the iconic English stadia providing unparalleled realism.

All-new scenario mode
Use Big Ant Studios’ famed community features to create match situations that allow a player to jump into a match at any point. Use this mode to create a dramatic test match, in which a historical team was able to chase down an impossible total, grind out a draw from a horrible situation, and then share your creations online to challenge friends to re-create (or change) history.

Lead your nation to world glory
Tackle the ultimate challenge of one-day cricket, with a full ten-team ODI championship mode allowing the best teams in the world to duke it out.

Rich career mode
Take control of a junior player just entering club cricket, and develop them into one of the greatest players in the sport – perhaps even captaining their country. Develop the player however you like, and perform well, so the news headlines sing your praises, enabling you to earn lucrative sponsorship deals and catch the notice of selectors!

Enhanced, intelligent AI
Cricket 19’s AI will develop strategies to attack your weaknesses, and target them with razor-sharp precision. When batting, the AI will rotate the strike to protect weaker players, and actively look for gaps in the field to target. When bowling, the AI will come up with plans of attack and stick to them with discipline. 
With enhanced mechanics handling edges, fielding in the outfield, and batting against spin bowlers, underpinned by near real-world physics, Cricket 19 is truly the next level of cricket simulation.

Check out the first in-game footage of Rugby League Live 4!

Hello Rugby League fans!

This week, we had the pleasure of unveiling the first in-game footage of our upcoming Rugby League Live 4. Given the time of year, we thought it would be best to show that classic moment as the two State of Origin teams take the field at the start of a match.

As you’ll see from the video, this game makes full use of our leading photogrammetry technology to deliver realistic facial features on each player, right down to the most minute of details. We wanted this year’s edition of Rugby League Live to be the most authentic and realistic League experience ever, and we feel that by using photogrammetry to pull the players directly into the game, fans will get the full experience of hard hits against the big personalities in League that they love (and love to hate).

You can watch the video below. Enjoy! And look forward to more information on the game coming in the not too distant future.
