Ubi Declares EndWar
Ubisoft has officially announced Tom Clancy’s EndWar, a new entry in its Tom Clancy series of video games. A next-gen strategy game, EndWar is being led by strategy veteran and Ubisoft creative director Michael de Planet; it is being developed at the publisher’s Shanghai studio whose members have worked on the Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell franchises.
Set for release during the fiscal year 2007/2008, EndWar is set on the battlefields of World War III. Built ground up for next-gen consoles, the game will “showcase artificial intelligence, graphics, physics and animations that were not possible [before].”
“Our development teams are invigorated to be creating the first 100 percent next-generation Tom Clancy brand,” said Serge Hascoët, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. “Our success with Tom Clancy franchises is unparalleled in the next-generation and Tom Clancy’s EndWar will be a marvelous addition to the already critically acclaimed library of games. A strategy game like no other, EndWar will allow gamers to lead their own armies against hundreds of others online in real global locations on the massive battlefields of World War III.”
A world-exclusive first look at the game can be found in the June issue of EGM which hits newsstands on May 8.
