Ashes Cricket 2013

Ashes Cricket 2013 is a cricket video game that was released on 22 November 2013, and was developed by Trickstar Games and published by 505 Games. The game features the complete 2013 Ashes Series. It also has an improved fielding editor with up to 60 fielding options. There is a new-look batting system which allows for a larger variety of shots. Weather and pitch conditions will also affect bowling styles. Commentary from Mark Nicholas, David Lloyd and Michael Slater.

Trickstar Games developed a new gaming system built upon the Beta version of Unity3D Engine to provide better gameplay in batting, bowling and fielding. The game was originally to be released on 21 June 2013, however the release date was moved back to July 2013. With a release date still not specified there were concerns that the game would not even make the revised July release. 505 Games then confirmed the game is being delayed further for a November 2013 release due to quality concerns, stating it is “simply not worthy of the Ashes name”, despite it will miss the opening of the real-life Ashes event in Australia.
In that time Mike Fegan of Trickstar Games had promised regular updates. He started a weekly video diary on the Ashes Cricket 2013 Facebook page. This soon dried up and information about the game ceased.
