Earlier this month, Ubisoft launched a Web site teasing what apparently is a new member of the Tom Clancy family of games. The Flash site spouted interesting snippets of audio, detailing what appeared to be war on a massive scale spread across the globe.

There were also mentions of Ghosts and Splinter Cells, prompting some to think the project was an extension of the Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell franchises and others to think it was an all-new property that would possibly tie in all the Tom Clancy games.

Now it appears as though the latter group can pat itself on the back. Ubisoft today revealed Tom Clancy's EndWar, a new game currently in production at Ubisoft Shanghai. EndWar marks new ground for the Tom Clancy titles. It will be a strategy game set during World War III--likely the same war that has been set up by the plots of Splinter Cell Double Agent, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, and Rainbow Six Vegas.

As for what kind of strategy game--turn-based, real time, or other--it's still unknown. However, gamers can expect to be in control of large armies and take their battle plans online, possibly in massively multiplayer combat, according to Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft.

"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 Hascoet (emphasis added).

EndWar is currently in the works for "next-generation consoles" and will be released sometime during Ubisoft's current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2008. GameSpot will have more details on EndWar next month.

    Nice! Should know how World War 3 would look like in next-gen.

    This game has awesome potential. I've always liked the thought of what WWIII might be like.

    I love the post "Tom is going for it!" as if Tom Clancy actually makes these games...

    Tom is going for it, and a world war 3 game! with such online capabilities!
    this has the making of being a classic!

    It's plausable that Tom Clancy's stories were leading to this ultimate conclusion, but... I don't know, I just can't believe this game is coming out so premature. It probably spells the end of the franchise, or the maybe the beginning!

    If Rainbow Six, GRAW 2 and Splinter Cell were great, this game will be awesome. I`m buying it.

    For those saying RTS don't work on consoles try playing Battle for Middle Earth 2 or the upcoming Command and COnquer. A market is being made for them on consoles. Also Halo Wars is in development so someone with big bucks believes that consoles and RTS' aren't a bad idea.

    The possibilities of tying together so many great franchises is fascinating.

    Tom Clancy RTS building huge armys of splinters and ghosts cool.

    If this was an MMOFPS I'd be on the ground drooling right now.
    Not a huge fan of RTS games (not since Age Of Empires 2 and Warcraft 2), but this could draw me back in.

    Well, notice that BF2 (the PC version) did have a RTS aspect to it...

    thesethcohen: "right...it sounded awesome until they said turn based...my pet hate. i thought it was going to be like battlefield!!! how mistaken i was"

    What the article actually says: "As for what kind of strategy game--turn-based, real time, or other--it's still unknown."

    It actually sounds pretty complicated. RTSs aren't good on consoles anyways, so why not turn-based?

    a strategy game? ummm i dont know i'm not really a bit strategy game person i was hoping it would be like splinter cell on a all element basis with a New character that would be brought into the splinter cell, ghost recon, and rainbow six world....so much for the pipe dream..LOL but im sure this might make me change my mind hopefully i can't wait for teh pictures and the game itself.

    Its going to be an interested project until they come out with the next Rainbox series. Everyone complains about RTS' - maybe TC will do it a different way...

    wha?? an rts? aww c'mon now anything but an rts. lol, i've never been into rts type games but i hope this will be good enough to bring me into the genre

    Tom Clancey games are hella fun, but why does it have to be an RTS?? If only if only this was a shooter, then THAT would be FILTHY. But an RTS on a game console is just a bad idea. History shows it doesnt work well. And Tom Clancey is too cool for that. BOO!

    RTS on 360? boo.

  • veronsolen2

    Posted Apr 26, 2007 3:56 pm PT

    finally an RTS that has realistic properties. and nobody could do it better than the Clancy franchise.

    Strategy or MMO eh? Thats definately a new direction for the Clancy franchise. Sounds interesting.
