Upcoming Cricket Video Games for PC in 2016

When we look at the cricket video games, we are aware of the fact that there aren’t many game companies who would like to work on a cricket video game apart from the companies who are located in nations like Australia, England, India or Pakistan where cricket is one of the major sport. EA Sports and Codemasters, who have been making cricket video games for almost a decade are no longer interested in risking themselves in cricket video games. Most of the companies are new but they have still impressed everyone with their previous installment of cricket games.

Where is Codemasters and EA Sports?

This is one of the most popular question from the cricket gaming fans that why Codemasters and EA Sports are not making any cricket games? Well here is the answer:

Codemasters are no more involved in cricket video games. The last cricket game they published was International Cricket 2010. Apart from this, they might have also sold their Ashes Cricket license to 505 Games, who then made an attempt to release a new cricket game Ashes Cricket 2013 which was also canceled after the release due to number of bugs and poor quality of the game. Hence, no more Codies Cricket as of now.

Regarding EA Sports, their last cricket game was EA Sports Cricket 2007. They had the official ICC license and there were lot of solid rumors that they were working on EA Sports ICC Cricket 09 which included commentary from Harsha Bhogle  but the game was never actually released. The last cricket game from EA Sports was Cricket 10 for mobile. EA Sports also confirmed in 2012 that they have no plans at this moment for Cricket Games.
