Here’s a protip for anybody in the games industry: Releasing a title on the same day thatGears of War 2andResistance 2are due to launch is probablynota clever idea.
Nevertheless, Ubisoft seems to have either made a miscalculation or is supremely confident by announcing thatTom Clancy’s Endwarwill hit European shelves onNovember 7— directly competing withGearsand more than likelyResistance, which will probably hit on the same day too.
For those who may have forgotten,Endwaris an RTS which is controlled by a voice-recognition system. A “VIP” demo is available for those who pre-ordered the Xbox 360 version of the game from Gamestation, which will hit next month.
One can’t help but feel that Ubisoft would rather avoid releasing this game on a day where it will more than likely be completely overshadowed by two huge console exclusives. This is definitely one release date that I will expect to see change before November rolls around.
