We’ve had Pool, we’ve had Snooker and we’ve had Hold ‘Em. Now we can bring you the news that Ripstone are bringing Pure Chess to Xbox One and PC.

Due for a summer 2016 release, Pure Chess is already available on Playstation, Nintendo and mobile devices but now, after being worked on by Ripstone’s own in house development team, it’ll also be arriving on Xbox One and PC via Steam.

Pure Chess aims to reflect the beauty and depth of the widely respected game. Chess is one of the world’s most played, popular and recognized games and to reflect this, Pure Chess was developed with the aid of a chess Grandmaster, the highest title a chess player can attain. The game aims to appeal to a wide audience with various tutorials to allow beginners to take part, improve their chess skills and become a Grandmaster in their own right. Are you a Grandmaster in the making?

Whilst there is no firm release date, or indeed pricing structure quite yet, you can be sure that we’ll keep you in the loop for when the time comes. For now though, you’ll have to make do with the teaser trailer below.
