Cricket 24 Release Date – All new licenses and game modes

The Cricket 24 release date has arrived. Originally scheduled to arrive in time for the Ashes Series in the summer, Big Ant Studios and Nacon delayed the launch until the beginning of the Cricket World Cup.

Now the game is out, we have already put hours into the game. We have produced a Cricket 24 review which includes new features, licenses, and of course, Career mode.

Without further ado, take a look at everything you need to know about the Cricket 24 release date, licenses, and game modes.

India is the key license for Big Ant to secure, but there has been progress made in this area. A number of professional Indian T20 teams feature. Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals are all involved this year.

The teams and detailed official stadiums aren’t the only new licenses. Unique commentary from Australian legend Adam Gilchrist adds to the most realistic cricket video game ever.

Big Ant CEO Ross Symons has confirmed more licenses will be added, so watch this space.

Cricket 24 game modes

There are loads of new game modes in Cricket 24 this year, but one rumor has gone quiet. It was suggested that a ‘Pro Team’ mode would be added, offering something similar to what we see in FC 24 Ultimate Team. This is yet to materialize, but there is still lots to enjoy in the latest cricket video game.
