"Our development teams are invigorated to be creating the first 100 per cent next-generation Tom Clancy brand," commented Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft.

"Our success with the Tom Clancy franchises is unparalleled in the next-generation and Tom Clancy's EndWar will be a marvellous addition to the already critically acclaimed library of games."

Collectively, the Tom Clancy series has sold more than 45 million units worldwide to date.
