The first next generation Rugby title is in development at Canadian-based HB Studios, which previously created Rugby World Cup 2011.

Rugby 15 will exclusively feature the official licences for the TOP 14 and PRO D2 professional rugby leagues.

“With this new sport simulation we are pursuing our strategy of moving upmarket with strong licences and quality partnerships, as with HB Studios,” declared Alain Falc, CEO of Bigben Interactive. “Today it gives us great pleasure to announce the very first rugby game on new generation consoles with the TOP 14 and the PRO D2, thanks to the support of the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (French Rugby Association). We are certain that fans of the sport will enjoy it!”

The game will feature teams from the 2014/2015 season.

The excitement is brewing here at RBP HQ at the thoughts of the possible game modes in Rugby 15, dominating Europe with Toulon or bringing Zebre from rags to riches in Career Mode.

Will they bring an ultimate team like mode into the game where you can build your dream XV?

Let us know what you’d like to see in the new Rugby 15!
