This Is Pool® will expand and improve on previous games to deliver the most robust, expansive and feature-rich cue sports game to date that will include every major rule-set played worldwide, practice mode, mini-games, career mode, arcade trick shots and ‘scenario’ challenges, rule-set customisation, local and online multiplayer and more, along with the option to play with a top-down camera view.

Mark Williams, Technology Director at VooFoo Studios, said “This Is Pool® represents the culmination of all our years’ experience making market-leading cue sports simulations and will offer a much enhanced experience to anything we’ve created before. We’ve rewritten the rule-book to create the most realistic, technically advanced cue sports game ever made that is going to take the genre to the next level.”

VooFoo Studios are giving gamers an early first-look at This Is Pool at EGX, the UK’s biggest gaming convention of the year, which takes place at Birmingham NEC from 20-23 September, where attendees will have the chance to play the game months ahead of release in the Rezzed Zone.
