Ubisoft developing first Tom Clancy air combat title

A new entry in the Tom Clancy video game franchise has been announced by Ubisoft. This new game, which is under development at Ubisoft’s Bucharest studio, will be the first air combat game taking place in the Tom Clancy universe.

The premise goes like this: In the near future, a private military force attacks the U.S.A. and its up to players to man the cockpits of ultra-advanced fighter jets and fight back. Players start out with some high-tech piloting assistance to help them get used to their jets. These “training wheels” can eventually be shed, however, as players gain more skills and confidence.

“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 reportedly launch sometime next year for next generation consoles and PC. Keep checking back here for more updates.
