Ubisoft has announced the first Tom Clancy brand developed from the ground up for Next Gen. Tom Clancy’s EndWar will be set on the battlefields of World War III and push the envelope of technology, showcasing artificial intelligence, graphics, physics and animations that were not possible prior to the launch of the new hardware systems. Tom Clancy’s EndWar has been built from the ground up as a revolutionary war strategy game solely for next-generation consoles.

Led by strategy veteran and Ubisoft creative director Michael de Plater, Tom Clancy’s EndWar is being developed by a team at Ubisoft’s Shanghai studio whose members have experience developing Ubisoft’s hit franchises including Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. The title is scheduled for release on next-generation consoles in fiscal year 2007/2008.

“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,” said Serge Hascoët, chief creative officer at Ubisoft.
