Video Game Press Release: Rugby Challenge 3 Coming On The 22nd of April

Published March 17, 2016

Even though I’m a 2 meter tall behemoth that looks like he can push a mountain, I’ve never been into rugby. Much to my detriment since it is the sport of choice for South Africans and if I had a rand for every time someone asked me if I play rugby, I would have enough money for a new release game.

Rugby Challenge has been one of the best rugby themed games out there, even though the roster for rugby games isn’t that impressive. Last year’s Rugby 2015 was an alarming disappointment with bugs galore and looking like it was made for a PS2. But rugby fans might finally get some relief with the announcement that Rugby Challenge 3 is coming to South African shores on the 22nd of April.

The game will have new features that build off from Rugby Challenge 2 and there’s also a bit of a Springbok theme thrown in there too.
