Hey Rugby 25 fans,

The time has come for the next Rugby 25 major update – Early Access 3 – introducing the Rugby Academy, where you can create your own players and teams! We’ve also added some new teams, revised the tackling system to include improved animation, and enhanced the general gameplay.

This August update brings us to the end of what we had proposed in the original Rugby 25 roadmap, so it’s time for us to give you a big thanks for your feedback and support thus far, especially on our forums. Your messages help us make the game better every day, and is exactly why we put Rugby 25 in Early Access, enabling us to build the game with you.

Listening to your feedback has also given us a great deal of clarity, and has instilled upon us the need to improve the gameplay gradually, with a longer Early Access process, with big Early Access updates monthly, but with smaller updates in between.

Over the next few months, as seen on the new roadmap, our focus will be on improving gameplay while adding new content.

As always, we’re excited to hear more of your feedback so we can make Rugby 25 the best rugby game to date.
