Bigben Interactive have confirmed that they've locked up the licence for the Rugby World Cup from Rugby World Cup Limited, and will be bringing a game based on the tournament - which will be held in England - to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 in September

Rugby World Cup 2015 won't be Bigben's first stab at bringing the ever-growing sport of rugby to consoles, given that they've already put out Rugby 15 this year. According to the company, "after the success of Rugby 15, Bigben Interactive will give players the chance to take control of their favourite national team and win the Webb Ellis Cup! The Rugby World Cup 2015 video game will be released in line with the start of the official Tournament and the video game is set to add an extra dimension to the excitement around one of the biggest sporting events of the year."

We don't think they mean "success" in critical terms, given that Rugby 15 is currently listed as the absolute worst Xbox One game released so far over at metacritic.com, garnering a score of 20/100 from 4 reviews.

With any luck, they'll put that one behind them and go on to make a much more convincing game to celebrate the World Cup.

Rugby World Cup 2015 will launch for Xbox One and Xbox 360 in September.
