True to the Tom Clancy’s video games’ tradition of innovation and excellence, Tom Clancy’s EndWar is an all-new breed of strategy game. Designed from the ground up for consoles, it is a fusion of next-gen. technology, superior design and first-class production values.
2020, with resources growing scarce every nation must look after themselves. Tensions between the US, Europe and Russia are near a breaking point. One spark will ignite the war to end all wars. ENDWAR lets players experience this geopolitical epic in two distinct phases.
World in Flames - A chillingly realistic vision of World War 3, in the fashion of the best techno-thrillers… Set in 2020, Tom Clancy’s EndWar explores a full-scale land war between superpowers. While the narrative engrosses the player in a massive global conflict, with battles taking place in American and European heartlands, on 40 real-life recognizable battlefields including Washington D.C., Paris and Moscow.
Shock and Awe - Tom Clancy’s EndWar exploits the capabilities of next-generation consoles to deliver production values comparable to the best action titles, rendering the chaos and grandeur of tactical combat more vividly than any game before it.
Control amidst chaos - The game's intense depiction of land warfare never overwhelms the player because Tom Clancy’s EndWar’s console-based design and interface empowers him to constantly maintain situational awareness and execute orders with the dispatch of a tactical genius. Simplicity ensures that success depends on tactical decision-making, not manual dexterity.
Massive replayability - In every way possible, Tom Clancy’s EndWar is designed for maximum replayability.
Ubisoft’s unique take on the real-time strategy genre makes its way to the PC with a fresh control scheme.
Using the ever-successful Tom Clancy brand, EndWar moves players into a vision of the future where World War III has encompassed the globe, sending each nation into large scale battles that spill onto the streets. Set in both Europe and the United States, 40 real-world battlefields are each set in the crumbling remains of famous cities, including Paris, Washington D.C. and Moscow. Hundreds of customisable units and fully destructible environments add to the tense, battle-heavy Tom Clancy atmosphere.
When initially released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, EndWar let players control the battlefield using only voice commands, and this feature is also included in the PC release. Players can shout orders to units and have far greater control over the battlefield, making what would normally be complex orders far more simple. Players more at home with traditional controls can use the new mouse and keyboard interface to issue commands.
This PC edition of EndWar keeps the novel additions to the real-time strategy landscape, as well as giving experienced players more traditional controls to work with.
