Ashes Cricket 2013 is a cricket video game that was developed by Trickstar Games and published by 505 Games. The game was released on 22 November 2013 for Windows, exclusively via Steam, for a short period of time before it was removed from sale. Furthermore, on 28 November 2013 the publisher 505 Games formally announced that the game had been cancelled and that refunds were to be given to anyone who had purchased it on Steam. It has been regarded by critics as one of the worst video games of all time.
Ashes 2013 featured the official licensed Australian and English cricket teams, as well as 14 unlicensed national teams. The Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and retail PC game platforms were also cancelled.
The game featured the complete 2013 Ashes cricket event series. It also planned for an improved fielding editor with up to 60 fielding options. There was also a plan for a new-look batting system which allows for a larger variety of shots. Weather and pitch conditions would also affect bowling styles. In addition to commentaries by Mark Nicholas, David Lloyd and Michael Slater.
Trickstar Games was developing a new gaming system built upon the Beta version of Unity Engine to provide better gameplay in batting, bowling, and fielding. The game was originally to be released on June 21st 2013, however the release date was moved back to July 2013. With a release date still not specified, there were concerns that the game would not even make the revised July release. 505 Games then confirmed the game was being further delayed for a November 2013 release due to quality concerns, stating it is "simply not worthy of the Ashes name", despite the fact that the new release date missed the opening of the real-life Ashes series in Australia.
