Two Secret Tom Clancy Games in the Works

Another cat out of the bag today, Ubisoft's brand manager for the Tom Clancy franchise, Michael Verheijdt, said he's working on two new TC games, but if he said anything further, Mr. Fischer would be sent after you.

Seriously, that was it. So what's the purpose behind this post, rather than to inform you that Ubisoft is still utilizing entries in the franchises based off of one man's books that they bought the rights to? To make predictions, of course!

We know Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was announced, so that can't be it, unless Ubisoft is being more like Square Enix with Final Fantasy, I would be proud to predict that Ghost Recon: Universal Soldier is one of those new titles. Oh, wait...

Anyways, back to reality. EndWar 2 wasn't formally announced, but back in February, Ubisoft officially announced that development for the game had been "put on the backburner." Bummer, cause that first one wasn't all that hot to begin with.

::see what i did there?::

The only other franchises we have are, you gottit, HAWX and Rainbow Six.

I'm just hoping they don't go with Rainbow Six 7 as the name. I think part of my brain asploded just then and there.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier announced for later this year

It's official: Ghost Recon 4 is Future Soldier. Everyone's initial skepticism is something similar to Battlefield 2142.

There will be a private beta in the summer, with invitations tied to Splinter Cell: Conviction (maybe reason for delay?), and the same team behind GRAW will be the guys behind this. With that, expect more red and blue diamonds on your screen...again.

The one thing I'm taking away from this? No funny acronym homonym. "GRAW" was awesome. "GRFS" really doesn't go anywhere. "GRiFS"? "GRuFS?"

No.

Ghost Recon: Predator?

Well, according to Australia's version of the ESRB, the OLFC, who rated a game with such a title, a successor to the Advanced Warfighter is - finally - closer to release.

Initially announced through an Ubisoft financial forecast document, but officially announced it earlier this year in April.

No details on the game, but the financial forecast had slated it before April 2010. Well, all the major game shows have gone and past, so there's not much room for Ubisoft to announce this. Expect it to be delayed into the late summer or early fall and gameplay shown at E3.
