They were tight-lipped about the issue before, but have now openly admitted that they're working on a soccer title.
MCV reports that the game, called Pure Football, and while it is to be more serious and 'sim'-y than its previous Academy Of Champions, it is only 'sim'-ing five-a-side, and from a much more interesting over the shoulder view, like in Resi 4, rather than the more traditional television-esque view, like in television.
It's due out in May, and I don't believe there's any major football-related event happening at about that time, so I've no idea what they're thinking releasing it about then. Still, we'll see.
