Singapore - Eyeball Pool, today announced the imminent global launch of the new-generation immersive 8-ball pool game, Pool Masters, setting a new standard for cue lovers on mobile devices. Eyeball Pool also unveiled a new collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences for a limited-time integration inspired by How to Train Your Dragon, released by DreamWorks Animation in 2010. The integration is expected to launch alongside the theatrical release of Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation’s epic new live-action reimagining of the first How to Train Your Dragon film, which soars into theaters June 13, 2025. The How to Train Your Dragon integration is the first in a series of major brand collaborations that are headed to Pool Masters. This collaboration will introduce five exquisitely crafted cues, inspired by How to Train Your Dragon characters including the legendary Toothless, Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug and Terrible Terror. These cues bring a whole new level of depth, strategy, and fantasy to the game.

Eyeball Games is founded by the creators of 8 Ball Pool, a smash hit title from Tencent-owned Miniclip that’s clocked over 1 billion downloads across iOS and Android. The studio has raised $3.3 million from investors including White Star Capital (a fund backed by gaming giant Ubisoft) and prominent angels such as King co-founder Sebastian Knutsson.

“The world of online pool playing is desperately in need of new energy which we’re bringing with the launch of Pool Masters,” Jonathan Ivarsson, CEO and co-founder of Eyeball Games. “Players will love how we’ve enhanced the traditional gaming experience to include a focus on collectibles, a competitive league system,—and we have cool brand collaborations starting with How to Train Your Dragon, too.”

Pool Masters is leveling up the 8-ball pool playing experience with:

• Unprecedented realism and pixel-perfect precision with a next-generation physics engine.
• Leaderboards and global competitions will unlock rewards and drive competitive matches.
• An unrivaled collection of cues that include limited-edition items with unique attributes to elevate style and skill.
• An industry-first marketplace where players can buy or sell cues in exchange for digital assets.

Players can pre-register today ahead of the launch of Pool Masters to unlock an exclusive gift, the limited-edition Pool Masters Black Widow Cue, a deadly spider-themed precision instrument that combines style, power, and performance.

About Universal Pictures’ How to Train Your Dragon – Live Action Film

From three-time Oscar^® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise.

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.

With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.

As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

The film also stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).

How to Train Your Dragon is written, produced and directed by DeBlois. It is also produced by four-time Oscar^® nominee Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns). How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX^® Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX^® technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world.

Inspired by Cressida Cowell’s New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated global audiences, earning four Academy Award^® nominations and grossing more than $1.6 billion at the global box-office. Now, through cutting-edge visual effects, DeBlois transforms his beloved animated saga into a breathtaking live-action spectacle, bringing the epic adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life with jaw-dropping realism as they discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny.
