HES and developer Big Ant Studios have today confirmed Don Bradman Cricket 17 will be padding up on December 22 on PS4 and Xbox One. The game will be available at retail and via digital storefronts.

The PC version will be available via Steam “one month later.”

Don"t mind the lack of licensed content; players have already been creating it in the PC demo.

“We have built completely new batting, bowling and fielding mechanics based on player feedback,” explains Big Ant CEO Ross Symons. “With Don Bradman 17 releasing right in the heart of the Aussie cricket season, we’re looking forward to players recreating the classic moments of the summer of cricket in their homes.”

“We were overwhelmed by the success of our first run at Don Bradman Cricket. To this day players from around the world play it daily, whether they are simulating their favourite test team matchups, or playing games with as little as one over each side. We think they’re going to love the enhanced career mode, refined on-field mechanics, and enhanced visuals and animation. After all, many of the changes came as a direct result of feedback from our most dedicated fans.”

Don Bradman Cricket 17 is promising honed on-field action, custom player, stadium, team, and logo creator modes, women’s teams, an improved career mode, and more.

PC players who can’t wait until January can still download the free nets mode for DBC 17 via Steam.
