Description
Ubisoft announced that their Bucharest studio will be developing the first air combat brand from the Tom Clancy universe.
"Ubisoft has an unrivaled track record of creating and sustaining new brands", said Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. "Our commitment to refreshing our catalog with regular introduction of new IPs is what keeps gamers coming back for more. With this new brand we're redefining the aerial combat genre and extending the Tom Clancy universe to deliver a compelling new action title to next-generation gamers."
The game is set in the near future in a world where a private military force has cumulated such power that it attacks the United States. Placed into the cockpits of incredibly powerful and technologically advanced jet fighters, gamers will benefit from high-tech piloting assistance, providing comfort, security, and enhanced perception. As players gain skills and confidence, they will be able to progress with less assistance, but will have to weigh the risks carefully before choosing performance over security.
"We are confident that this new brand will become the new benchmark for flight combat games and will be, like other Tom Clancy based games, an instant online multiplayer hit", said Sebastien Delen, managing director of Ubisoft's Bucharest studio. "The player will experience all the action and excitement of modern air combat, from intense dog fighting to tactical strikes."
Tom Clancy's Air Combat will launch in 2008.
