Disney Interactive Studios Goes Pure (PS3)

No, this isn't something involving magical princesses, as the title might imply. It's an off-road racing title, so it's almost like the titular antithesis of Codemasters' DiRT series.

Disney Interactive Studios today announced the development of Pure. This off-road racing game is being developed by Black Rock Studio in collaboration with pro-rider Wes Miller. Pure will focus on airborne tricks and aerial jumps, with races between as many as 16 players.

"We expect Pure to set a new standard for off-road racing that delivers adrenaline-inducing vertical experiences with spectacular aerial tricks and intense wheel-to-wheel racing," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "Pure will appeal to a wide audience based on the game's jaw-dropping aerial tricks, breakneck racing and vast environments."

"Black Rock Studio has established itself as a leading developer of racing video games and we expect to continue that heritage with the creation of Pure, our first game since becoming part of Disney Interactive Studios," said Jason Avent, game director at Black Rock Studio. "Pure combines the best features of both extreme sports and racing to produce an extraordinary and unique experience."

Pure will release on PS3, PC and Xbox 360 in Fall 2008.
