Nacon and Big Ant Games are bringing Cricket back to video games with their next title Cricket 22: The Official Game Of The Ashes. It's been a few years since they've released a proper sports title for the game, going back to Cricket 19 which was pretty successful in Europe and Asia. This time around they're giving players a much more comprehensive game that will be more robust and come with a ton of new options like other major sports titles do. The game is currently set to be released on November 25th for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, but they will be releasing a sort of demo for the game called The Nets Challenge in the next week or so giving you a taste of the game.
