Don Bradman Cricket 14 to release 3rd April on PS3 and Xbox 360

[PlanetCricket]

Tru Blu Entertainment, publisher of the Big Ant Studios developed Don Bradman Cricket 14 have today announced that the game will be releasing on the 3rd of April on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. No date is yet confirmed for the PC version that was previously announced to be ?two months? after the console release.

While the date has been announced, the details are light ? with no new information on the game and little information regarding the release such as pricing. Particularly absent is a distributor in the United Kingdom, where the press release notes that the ?UK: Distribution and release date TBA? ? which makes the release date uncertain in one of the biggest markets for cricket games.

UPDATE: Forum posts from Big Ant Studios CEO Ross Symons suggest that it should have no impact on release ? saying: ?At the time of the release the distributor could not be named, that is all.? and that ?I am still not concerned about the UK. Stock is on the way there.?

The announcement of the 3rd of April puts it technically outside the ?March? estimate given previously, though to editorialise for a second, three days shouldn?t matter to anyone and it would be crazy to think that?s a ?delay?.

Full release follows,
