Ubisoft and U.S Army strike publishing deal to bring shooter to console systems.
Ubisoft, and the U.S. Army announced today that they have entered into a long-term agreement to develop and publish games based on the U.S. Army's America's Army game.
This historic agreement marks the first time that the U.S. Army has ever exclusively licensed its brand to a game maker and will dramatically expand the reach of America's Army to the vast console game market.
With this agreement, the Army will also exercise ongoing content review with regard to the same features of realism, character progression, and gameplay motivated by Army values that have made America's Army one of the most popular online games in the world.
Since the games' launch in July 4, 2002, more than 3.3 million players have joined America's Army, completing more than 600 million missions logging over 60 million hours of gameplay. America's Army is rated T for Teen. The Army will continue to develop America's Army for the PC with free distribution to end users at local Army Recruiting stations, ROTC Detachments and Army events, and free downloaded from various partners listed on the http://www.americasarmy.com site.
