In a fairly surprising move Ubisoft have announced Pure Football for release this May (in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup) from their new studio in Vancouver (same town where the FIFA series is developed by EA Canada). No details on platforms has been revealed, but doesn't this look a lot like the last FIFA Street title?
"Pure Football is a new and unique vision of football video games, emphasizing the intense, physical and spectacular aspects of the sport. The over-the-shoulder camera and visceral audio dynamically react to the context of the match, placing the gamer in the heart of the five-a-side football action, as opposed to the feeling of watching a TV broadcast.
Pure Football will include 230 elite footballers, 17 international teams, and 17 legendary players. Gamers will have the opportunity to create their own customized athlete who can progress through the campaign mode to ultimately test themselves against the world's best players in the final tournament. Up to four people can play multiplayer locally and 1vs1 matches are supported online, along with the inclusion of leaderboards that allow players to match up to one another and celebrate the pure competitive nature of football."
