R.B.I. Baseball makes long-awaited return to stores

After a 20-year hiatus, R.B.I. Baseball is making a return to store shelves.

The legendary baseball video game's 2016 edition will be sold in-store in both the United States and Canada starting on April 5, according to Forbes' Maury Brown. While hard copies will only be sold for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the game will still be available via digital download for multiple platforms.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts will grace the American cover, while Toronto Blue Jays ace Marcus Stroman was given the honor for stores in Canada.

Long considered a sports video-game classic, the original R.B.I. Baseball for Nintendo systems was discontinued after 1995. MLB Advanced Media gave the series a reprieve via digital download in 2014, to the delight of many in the gaming world.

The 2016 edition features many improved elements, including a new defensive artificial intelligence system.
