After being absent for nearly two decades, a famous long-running sports series is returning this spring. Developed by Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the MLB’s in-house interactive entertainment division, the game will launch on all current and next-generation consoles and also to smartphones and tablets, if we go by reports.
RBI Baseball 95, a Time Warner Interactive-developed game for the Sega 32X, was the last entry within the series that began on the NES/Famicom. The timing of the announcement is acceptable, given that 2K Sports formally cancelled its own baseball series just one week ago, putting an end to its exclusive third-party contract. The MLB presently features a landing page with a smart emblem established for the game, although no alternative details are offered at the moment.
