Rugby 15 is a sports video game developed by HB Studios [2] for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Windows, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Rugby 15 featured the Northern Hemisphere Rugby Union licenses while its only real rival in terms of Rugby Union video games, Rugby Challenge 3, featured the Southern Hemisphere licences. HB Studios had not developed a rugby union game since Rugby World Cup 2011, which was published by 505 Games. HB Studios then however announced the intention to start releasing an annual rugby game. [2] This did not occur, and future videogames in the series were developed by a different studio.
It was possible to play an individual match with up to 4 local controllers, play in any of the licensed competitions or a custom created competition. [3] The game does not feature a player and team customization mode or a career mode. No online mode existed in the game as the developers want to focus on the basics of the game to improve for future editions, which may include an online mode. [2]
The weather would play a large part in gameplay with the wind affecting the projection of the ball and rain causing the pitch to deform and players to get muddy. [3]
The game features licences for all clubs in the Top 14, Pro D2, Premiership and Pro12. There is one in-game stadium that is used for every team.
