A sequel for last year's Tom Clancy's EndWar (PC, PS3, PSP, DS, Xbox 360) is apparently already being developed by the same studio who made the original. This was confirmed by Ubisoft's Michael De Plater to VideoGamer.com.

According to de Plater, the smaller Ubisoft Shanghai team working on the sequel will be focusing on the single-player campaign along with tweaking the combat chain:

You compare it [EndWar] to World in Conflict, or Company of Heroes, where they invest a lot in the storytelling, thereÂ’s no mysteries about how we could do that and apply it in the game, itÂ’s just something we didnÂ’t give attention to. Giving more attention to the single-player is straightforward to address and will make the game a lot of fun.


Changing the way the combat chain works, the paper, scissors, rock, and adding the differentiation between the three factions, again itÂ’s not something thatÂ’s even necessarily hard to do; itÂ’s something that we chose not to do with the accessibility. So, yeah I think itÂ’s really easy and fun to address.


Ubisoft has so far declined to give any target dates or platforms for the EndWar sequel's release.

» I dunno bout this one.

I gave the first game a shot and turned up disappointed. As a seasoned RTS'er, I thought I would love this game. The voice system was fun at first but then just got clunky in hot situations. Some things like the view of the battlefield as well as the Rock Paper Scissors gameplay really got to me. The fact that Rock ALWAYS beats scissors and Scissors ALWAYS beats paper etc. It just ended up being a right place right time with unit engagements. Usually either you had the right units on standby that were close and u won or you didn't and you got creamed.

But I did purchase the Endware/Headset bundle that Best Buy had for $40. Now I'm having a hard time even selling the game new on Ebay for $20... That speaks volumes about how good the game is.

I bought the same bundle but for 36 bucks. I sold the game for 21 bucks at gamestop.
