Hustle Kings developer, VooFoo Studios, and Indie Games Publisher Ripstone have announced that Pure Pool; the latest iteration in the Pure series will break onto Xbox One, PC via Steam and PlayStation 4 early this winter.

Pure Pool is set to serve up the most authentic next-gen pool experience on the market and will be available to both Xbox One, via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program as well as Steam and PlayStation 4 users at launch.

Improving on the formula of their critically-acclaimed Hustle Kings, the team at VooFoo has sought to achieve new level of realism in Pure Pool – with their fine-tuned physics engine and beautiful graphics.

Whether you wish to hone your skills solo or weigh up against the competition Pure Pool has been built from the ground-up on the premise of connecting players.

As a result the game will immerses players in a living, breathing pool hall, with all the buzz and vibrancy of a real pool-playing environment.

Pure Pool also offers live online multiplayer so you can compete against worthy opponents in both head-to-head matches and in global online leagues.
