Ubisoft plans to shake up the football/soccer market by introducing Pure Futbol this May. The game, developed by Ubisoft Vancouver, will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Ubisoft describes the game as “raw and unfiltered.”
The arcade simulation features 5-a-side matches, with intense, fast-paced action. You can compete with up to four players offline and online, with both regional and global leaderboards. You’ll be able to control a roster of 230 “elite” players, from 17 of the top international teams and three legends teams.
It sounds like Ubisoft is going after a more “physical” gameplay experience, through “tight camera angles and stunning audio/visual treatments” to allow for a more intense experience. Look for the camera to be right on the field along with the players. Also, don’t expect referees to stop the action. Pure Futbol “celebrates strength and power as much as it does skill and speed.”
Look for Pure Futbol sometime this May for $59.99 USD.
