Ubisoft today announced a new Tom Clany series, EndWar, for all next-gen consoles. The game will be out in late 2007 or early 2008.

Based in a future World War III setting, EndWar will bring strategy gaming to a new level.

From the press release:

Our development teams are invigorated to be creating the first 100 percent next-generation Tom Clancy brand,” said Serge Hascoët, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. “Our success with Tom Clancy franchises is unparalleled in the next-generation and Tom Clancy’s EndWar will be a marvelous addition to the already critically acclaimed library of games. 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.

The game is being developed at Ubisoft Shanghai, where most of the other Tom Clancy game development has taken place (Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six).

Hopefully Ubisoft puts a new spin on the Tom Clancy series, but it’s becoming like EA pushing out updates for sports games every year.
