If you like cricket, then you’ll no doubt be hugely excited for the arrival of Ashes Cricket in November. Today the team at Big Ant Studios have released some new visuals for the game, and these focus on the women’s Ashes competition which will be included.
As the English tour of Australia kicks off with the first of seven games between the Australian and English womens teams, Big Ant have delivered a number of new screenshots to showcase the women’s game found in Ashes Cricket – namely with Anya Shrubsole and Megan Schutt featured.
Just like those found with the men’s teams, you’ll find 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.
“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.”
“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.”
You will also be able to play through the full career mode as a woman, just as you can for the men’s game, as you attempt to bring 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 Xbox One, PS4 and PC come November 16, 2017.
