    Rugby Challenge Release Date Is NOT set!

    had a friend who knows someone at trublu and said its release date has been pushed back.
    I wasn't going to get RWC2011 but I swapped my pre order from Rugby Challenge today, I need my rugby fix. Told my friends to get RWC to play online as they hadn't heard about RC yet.

    pretty gutted

    that depends on who you think is the horse sidhe or trublu, trublu are the publishers and set the date and it would be bad if they tell everyone the game is delayed right before their compition release their game so I guess we will be told after the release of RWC to help damage control

    Aye, but they didn't set a release date other than "Q3"

    I presume they learnt their lesson with RL3 which pushed back and back and back and back

    hoping and aiming are different. doesnt mean its a release date, its just what they are trying to get.

    if it doesnt happen then it will eventually. the longer it takes the more chance they get to fix little bits and pieces and tweaking it.

    No it isn't


    Well, actually, it MIGHT be - however no release date has been announced and any shop that has set a release date is just making them up for the sake of having a release date to have on their websites to encourage pre-orders

    No release date has been set, thus it hasn't changed. We will let you guys know when there is a release date, believe me

    You also said yourself you don't know when as sidhe don't set it, that is what the publishers do. Funny you guys are in the dark too, I guess when you hear confirmation from the publishers you can go ahead with information?

    We don't know what the release date is because there isn't one yet. When there is one, we'll know immediately.

    Anybody that thinks they know a date has been misled or is lying.

    I might add, you've been pretty clear and consistent about this at every point this issue is continually raised.

    I suppose the only good thing about it is the amount of anticipation it shows from the consumer.

    I really can't wait for this game to come out! Are people going to start a manager mode club side straight away on medium difficulty with a good team and then after you get into the game switch to a worse team on hard difficutly?

    this is the official distributor in South Africa for Rugchug...

    their ETA as published on their website is 9 September 2011

    But what we must look at is ETA Expected Time of Arrival... they expect it to be there, but that's not a final call...
