About Rugby Nations 26
Rugby Nations 26 puts you at the heart of the action. Build your team and take on the best teams from around the world. Play through every ruck, maul, and bitterly contested try as you rise through the ranks and carve out your place among Rugby Legends. CORE GAMEPLAY Jackaling and bump-offs keep the momentum of the match flowing, while charge down kicks and calling mark give you greater control of the defensive side of the sport. Adaptive intercepts add more risk to those clutch plays but make it all the more rewarding to steal possession of the ball in this highly immersive rugby simulator. CLUB MODE 2.0 Choose your team's country of origin and take on local teams all the way up to national Rugby Legends. Move up the ladder, gain promotion to challenging higher leagues, and battle it out in the playoffs to become champions. Take part in inter-season tournaments and face teams from around the world. KIT DESIGNER A complete overhaul to the kit designer allows you to give your team their own unique identity. Mix and match all new designs, selecting individual colours for every aspect of your kit from collar to boot. Design a kit your team can wear with pride as you score epic tries and celebrate your victories on the pitch. MATCH PRESENTATION Match commentary makes each game feel like a moment in Rugby Union history, highlighting all your masterful plays during gameplay.
