With the World Cup just around the corner, now is apparently the time to cash in on the hype with a soccer video game. The latest publisher to join the party is Ubisoft, which recently announced their answer to EA’s FIFA and Konami’s Pro Evo series.

Similar to last year’s Madden Arcade, the newly announced Pure Football will attempt to carve out a niche as a more action-oriented arcade title. The gameplay will be five-on-five with no referees, and will support an over-the-shoulder camera that brings the game closer to the field. In addition, it will support four player local multiplayer and 1v1 online play.

Pure Football will feature recognizable names and faces from the world of competitive soccer, and is currently being developed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Look for it in May.
