Rugby Challenge 3 adds Rugby Sevens

In a bid to capitalise on the greater interest in rugby this year thanks to the World Cup and Rugby Sevens' inclusion in the 2016 Olympics, Wicked Witch Software has announced that it will release Rugby Challenge 3 later this year.

Rugby Challenge 3 will let players create their own player and embark on a potentially trophy filled career spanning 13 seasons. Players will be tasked with match goals to improve their skills and rise from a rookie to become a captain, and possibly even prove themselves on the world stage at international level.

Rugby Sevens will feature for the first time, so you can brush up on the rules and skillsets ahead of the 2016 Olympic in Rio.

The title will feature 11 competitions including the all new Super Rugby, ITM Cup and Currie Cup. There will also be a variety of game modes available, including single matches, competitions, a multi-year career mode, Be a Pro, and a multiplayer mode.

Wicked Witch Software takes over the development reigns from Sidhe who was in charge of the first two.

Rugby Challenge 3 will be released in the last quarter of 2015 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. PC players can try out FanHub, the game’s player creation tool, right now in a demo available from Steam.
