People love Tom Clancy games. You know this, I know this, and Ubisoft definitely knows this. That is why the mega-publisher/developer is beginning to expand the franchise outside of it's Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon franchises. With EndWar coming out later this November, the Tom Clancy brand may be staying out n warfare, but is finally spreading into different genres.

But Ubisoft isn't stopping there as the company's CEO Yves Guillemot revealed in a follow up to a conference call today. While he didn't release any specifics on the gameplay that would be used (or anything else for that matter), he did state that an MMO for the Tom Clancy franchise was coming. Not only that, but he also released the game's budget: a whopping 50 million dollars.

Personally, I have no idea how this would be pulled off, but I'm sure as hell excited to see. I'd like to see a whole new franchise made for this title, instead of it being a part of any of Ubi's past franchises, but the possibilities are endless here. We'll keep you updated as more details come flying in.
