Ubi Soft har besluttet sig for at udvide deres Tom Clancy-univers med et spil som går på vingerne. Firmaet kunne i går bekræfte, at deres udviklere i Bukarest, Rumænien har fået ansvaret for at følge det netop annoncerede Tom Clancy’s Air Combat. Dagens beskrivelse er dog yderst sparsom, men spillet bør efter planen være klar i løbet af 2008. Ubi Soft tør dog allerede nu love en masse “dogfights” og pointerer at spillet vil fokusere på masser af multiplayer-action. VI er klar med de første billeder så snart de bliver fremsendt.
Chertsey, England – September 25, 2007 – Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced the creation of a new Tom Clancy franchise being developed by Ubisoft’s Bucharest studio for next generation consoles and PC. The first air combat game taking place in Tom Clancy’s universe, the brand will launch in 2008.
“Ubisoft has an unrivalled track record of creating and sustaining new brands,” said Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. “Our commitment to refreshing our catalogue 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 titles to next-generation gamers.”
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.
