Real Cricket 16 Released For Android And iOS

Real Cricket 14, has always been an all-time favorite smartphone gaming app for cricket loving fans, on both Android and iOS platform. The updated version of the same was released last year during the world cup 2015 but was unable to garner the same accolades as by the previous version. The company has now announced the Real Cricket 16 to meet the demand and expectations of the users and also to tackle competition from the likes of Disney India's ICC Pro Cricket games and a myriad of cookie-cutter clones that clutter the App Store and Google Play.

It's been a while since we've seen a new entry in the series. The last major update was based on the 2015 Cricket World Cup, quickly followed up by an Indian Premier League based update. They also released a separate game in Real Cricket: Test Match in July last year. We noticed that the game's Facebook page has announced the impending arrival of Real Cricket 16 complete with a new cover and profile picture.

That's not all, it seems that developer Nautilus Mobile's approach to the sequels might be different. "Cricket season is coming.... And so is something else. Guess what's coming in the form of a massive update soon!" teased a post on the game's Facebook page. The implications are interesting. Rather than forcing you to download a completely new game and lose out on all your earned progress, it appears you'll carry over what you've earned in Real Cricket 14. If this works out as it should, it has interesting ramifications for local game development practices.

Indian developers mainly prefer releasing a new game rather than use an existing framework to build upon. From a game design and development standpoint it possibly means that when Real Cricket 14 was in production, its roadmap was far more future-proof than what we imagined. We'll be speaking to Mankar at length in the coming days to know more about Real Cricket 16 in terms of what to expect, gameplay updates, and a whole lot more. Anuj has also confirmed that the release date will be announced via our website soon. Needless to say, if you're a long-time player of Real Cricket 14 or an avid mobile cricket game fan, you have more than enough of a reason to be happy.
