Ubisoft and the U.S. Army announces that Red Storm Entertainment is developing Americas Army: True Soldiers exclusively for the Xbox 360. The game is due out in September 2007 and will feature eight maps developed by Red Storm Entertainment with clan support. There will be of course the single player solider mode.

Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, and the U.S. Army announced that Red Storm Entertainment, in collaboration with the Army, will launch America’s Army: True Soldiers, exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in September 2007. The game will be rated "T" for Teen.

The multiplayer feature is a key feature of America’s Army: True Soldiers with eight maps developed by Red Storm Entertainment and full Xbox LIVE online gaming service Clan support, so teams will be able to quickly jump online and compete. Players will immerse themselves within the true infantry experience of a modern Soldier via the graphical prowess of the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Warfighter 2 game engine. As a Soldier in single-player mode, 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 accurately 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, honor 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."

America’s Army: True Soldiers is going to be a huge multiplayer hit on Xbox LIVE and a unique feature is how the single-player experience integrates into the multiplayer aspect of the game. Single-player accomplishments and skills earned, in categories such as Valor, Marksmanship, Stealth and Conditioning, will be upgradeable and then immediately utilized on Xbox LIVE to dominate online.

As the most realistic U.S. Army experience on a console, America’s Army: True Soldiers 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.

America’s Army: True Soldiers is a game that will appeal to both hardcore gamers who love Xbox LIVE, military fans and those who want the ability to play through an authentic U.S. Army experience on the console.
