With the 13th Rugby League World Cup just around the corner, New Zealand developer Sidhe Interactive has teamed up with Aussie distributors Home Entertainment Suppliers (HES) to release an updated version of 2005's Rugby League 2. Dubbed Rugby League 2: World Cup Edition, the title will be available for the PlayStation 2.
Aside from jersey and roster updates for NRL, Super League and international teams, Rugby League 2: World Cup Edition has added five new stadiums to the list of playable venues. Of course they also had to add the Gold Coast Titans, who joined the NRL in 2007.
To make the game more realistic, it features new in-game cutscenes, which show players taunting each other after a bad play and celebrating tries, as well as other animations. Business development manager for HES David Fobles said in a press release: "By working with Sidhe to deliver a new version of the game with updated features and rosters, we're giving the fans what they want on the platform they want it most".
Unlike the original Rugby League 2, World Cup Edition will not be appearing on the Xbox, or feature online play for PS2. When GameSpot AU contacted Fobles about this, he was unable to offer us anything more than "no comment".
Rugby League 2: World Cup Edition for PS2 is due out in early November in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Pricing has not been disclosed.

I really wish that rugby league 3 was created, and put it on the PS3 and XBOX 360, hardly anyone has a PS2 these days, and online would be insane!
