XBOX-HQ.COM - Ubisoft Announces 'Tom Clancy's Air Combat'

Ubisoft announced a new Tom Clancy game today: Tom Clancy's Air Combat, a plane flyin' and fightin' simulator to be released for "next-gen consoles and PC" in 2008.

According to Ubisoft, Tom Clancy's Air Combat is: "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."

It's hard to say at this early what the game will focus on, but Ubi seems to be hyping the online capability of the title: “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,” says 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.”

We'll let you know more details when we have 'em.
