Tom Clancy’s Air Combat Announced
Further extending Tom Clancy’s reach in the games market, Ubisoft has announced Air Combat, a new aerial combat franchise in development at Ubi’s Bucharest studio.
In the works for PC and next-gen consoles, the game is expected to “become the new bechmark for flight combat games… and instant online multiplayer hit,” according to Sebastien Delen, managing director at the studio.
Set in the near future, the game imagines a world where a private military force has accumulated such power that it attacks the USA. Thrust into the cockpits of incredibly powerful and technologically advanced jet fighters, gamers will benefit from hi-tech piloting assistance, providing comfort, security and enhanced perception. As players gain skills and confidence, they will be able to shed the assistance. But before choosing performance over security, they?ll have to weigh the risks carefully.
The game is expected to be released sometime next year.
