Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

After a few oblique references and potential name leaks, Ubisoft has finally confirmed today development of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, the latest entry in the tactical squad-based shooter series not seen since 2007's Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter 2.

The game is being developed by the same Ubisoft Paris team behind the original Advance Warfighter and its sequel, and the press release purports Future Soldier will feature "cutting-edge technology, prototype high-tech weaponry, and state-of-the-art single-player and multiplayer modes." But alas, it left out any details of what makes these modes and technology so cutting-edge and state-of-the-art.

The good news is many of us will soon be able to see for ourselves. While the game isn't set for release until "Holiday 2010" (read: probably November), Ubisoft will be launching a multiplayer beta on the Xbox 360 this summer. Invites will be shipped along with Splinter Cell: Conviction for a limited time.

The beta is exclusive to the Xbox 360, but Future Solider is being developed for the 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

It's UBI... The PC version is gonna be a crappy console port, not gonna give this game another thought.
