This is out of the blue, the Pakistan-based developers of Cricket Revolution, Mindstorm Studios have today announced that tomorrow (16th Jan) they will be releasing Cricket Power, the officially licenced World Cup 2010 video game.



LAHORE, PAKISTAN, 15th January 2011 ? Mindstorm Studios announced today that it is developing the Official Game for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, an event followed religiously by over a billion fans around the globe.

The game, “Cricket Power” (www.cricketpower.com), is set to be the most advanced 3D browser cricket game developed to date. It will feature all 14 official teams along with official players, stadiums and kits. The game will be powered by a superior cricket engine at its core, coupled with a pick-up-and-play interface to appeal to casual and core gamers alike.

“We are extremely excited about developing the official game for ICC’s Cricket World Cup 2011″ said Babar Ahmed, CEO Mindstorm Studios. “Cricket has long been a subject closely linked to our organization and we are thrilled to take it to the next level.”

The game will be published by ADMC (Abu Dhabi Media Company) and is set to launch on the 16th of January, 2011 and will be available at www.cricketpower.com.

We’ve contacted Mindstorm for further details and will post as soon as we get anything. This comes as a huge surprise to us, with it being our understanding that EA still owned the rights to ICC World Cup games. It seems strange that such a small time developer would be the one to get what is likely to be an expensive licence – beating out Big Ant and Codemasters, the only other developers with recent or confirmed titles.

Thanks to Rehan_24 for the tip.
