Game Details
Little is known about Cricket 09, with no formal announcement from EA Sports of the title. Speculation regarding the release of a new title was ignited by a classification of the game by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification.[1]
A New Zealand shopping website Mighty Ape listed a cricket video game titled "EA Sports ICC Cricket 09: 20/20 World Cup" that was to be released on Friday, 8 May 2009 on Microsoft Windows.[2], however this was since taken down, leading to speculation the game had been cancelled.
Further suspicion of a cancellation came from a blog post by EA Sports chief Peter Moore[3] where he stated EA Sports had "absolutely nothing to announce about a cricket game". However past denial of the existence of a Wii version of the game[4], suggests that it is just an unannounced game, rather than a non-existent one. Other evidence supporting the game's existence is the ability to register the game in EA's online registration site[5], with it listed under the name Cricket 09 in the PC category.
