R.B.I. Baseball 14 appears on Xbox Marketplace with April 9 release date

R.B.I. Baseball 14 will release on Xbox Live Arcade on April 9, according to the product description posted to Xbox.com.

The game’s official Twitter account stated that it has not made any official announcements on the release date yet, but that it will very soon.

R.B.I. Baseball 14 brings the series back after a 20-year absence. R.B.I. Baseball 95 was the last entry in the series, which launched in 1994 for the Sega 32X.

Major League Baseball (MLB) is developing R.B.I. Baseball 14 in-house, tasking its own Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) unit to create the game. MLBAM's other duties include managing the official MLB website and websites for the league's 30 teams.

It says that the game will have modern graphics but stay true to the franchise’s roots with a classic two-button control style. R.B.I. Baseball 14 will feature all 30 MLB teams and 480 active players with characteristics based on MLB’s statistical database. MLB also said you can play through a game in 20 minutes and choose between Exhibition, Season, and Postseason modes.

R.B.I. Baseball 14 is set to release on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and mobile devices.
