Pure Chess makes a move onto PS4 on April 15th

We’re pretty sure that chess is probably the last game that needed a next generation upgrade. But now that we’ve seen what VooFoo Studios was able to put together on the PS4, we’re sort of changing our mind.

Best known for Hustle Kings and the upcoming Pure Pool, VooFoo Studios’ Pure Chess is a damn near photo-realistic depiction of of the game. Pure Chess is still just chess, so don’t expect any animated warriors or outrageous game modes, a la Battle Chess. But boy does it look gorgeous.

Pure Chess is set for an April 15th release for $7.99 for just the game or $14.99 for the “Complete Bundle”.

Get a good look at the PS4 version in the screens and trailer below.
