Nowhere says November, whatever you find online is a speculative date. This is an official press release, and it has two different tentative releases, one which is probably a poor cleanup of previous press releases and one they never said until now, if you want to believe in November fine, I doubt it'll come this year.

Well when I interviewed Pete Garcin a few weeks ago he said that the game had been finished and has been send for certification to Sony and Microsoft to be approved and distributed. Thiis process takes approximately one month so the game is finished and will be releaed very soon. Also, almost every game site has it down for november, so I am afraid you are a bit mistaken mate it will be released late november or early december

Yeah, I'm pretty sure achievements aren't released until a game has gone gold (aka is finished). So I'd say a November release date is looking good right now.

Really depends. Can take 3 to 4 weeks to get through submission and then, assuming you pass submission and don't need to resubmit, it usually takes another 3-4 weeks to manufacture and distribute depending on the infrastructure and relationships of the publisher. Factoring in they are trying to deliver on 6 platforms simultaneously, there are a lot of logistics to manage there including 5 separate submissions to get through (and in the busiest submission period of the year for Sony and Microsoft I might add). Assuming they don't stagger the releases as the platforms are approved and manufactured, then 8-12 weeks from submission to shelf is probably a more realistic expectation. It will be ready when its done, and people shouldn't pay any attention to release dates on retailer websites over waiting to hear the official word from the publishers themselves. Have said it for our games in the past, and it is appropriate for these guys too.

The South African distributor of Rugby 15, Apex Interactive, did confirm to someone who asked them about a release date that it was still definitely coming next month, I just hope it is the same release date worldwide

 

[ScottishCannon]

If RWC11 is anything to go by then that will be ages - didn't even drop after the world cup even though it was a tie in

 

[stus768]

Might not bother unless reviews are solid then.

I reckon Rugby 15 will definitely be worth the money no matter what we have to pay. I reckon and I am hoping that it is going to be 10 times better than the Rugby Challenge series, the rugby challenge games were so buggy and glitchy that it was no longer a true reflection of rugby. I'm hoping that this is the rugby game that we have always wanted, I absolutely loved Rugby 08 and RWC 2011, and with the improved graphics, gameplay and controls, Rugby 15 will truly be the game we've been asking and waiting for since Rugby 08, the future is definitely looking bright for rugby games!

Rugby 15 on their Facebook page have just confirmed that Rugby 15 will be released this November and that a UK packshot will be available soon! They have just released an album showing all of the packshots to date worldwide!
