New Ubisoft title uses GRAW 2 game engine
Ubisoft has today confirmed that their latest shooter, America's Army: True Soldiers, will be released in the US in September, exclusively on Xbox 360.
The multiplayer feature will be a key feature of America's Army: True Soldiers with eight maps developed by Red Storm Entertainment and full Clan support, so teams will be able to quickly jump online and compete. We're yet to see any screenshots, but Ubisoft claim that it will have the 'graphical prowess of the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Warfighter 2'. As a Soldier in single-player mode, you'll advance through your career and take on roles such as Rifleman, Grenadier, Automatic Rifleman and Sniper. Red Storm and the Army are working together to make sure that the America's Army: True Soldiers gameplay experience is an authentic Army experience.
The America's Army: True Soldiers game portrays the values that guide Soldiers in the U.S. Army, by specifically incorporating gameplay based on mission accomplishment, teamwork, leadership, rules of engagement and respect for life and property. Just like in real combat, honour and respect must be earned, and in the game, the Play-Lead-Recruit feature allows players to earn respect as they move up through the ranks and become true leaders. Teammates can award points to other team members who play honorably and jump in when the mission is on the line.
"America's Army is a strong brand, and coupled with Red Storm Entertainment's next-gen expertise, Ubisoft and the Army are set to deliver a solid and authentic Army experience,"said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "Red Storm has done an unbelievable job over the years with military action titles and we’re excited to have them work in partnership with the U.S. Army to develop America’s Army: True Soldiers."
The game will feature high-tech equipment, including a Blue Force Tracker that improves recognition of targets while increasing information to the player. Additional Intel will be gathered by the Raven UAV and displayed on their Blue Force Tracker. AI teammates can share Intel via in-game voice-over.
We'll have screenshots and more information soon.
