A sequel for the ever popular EndWar for PS3 is due to come out sometime near Christmas. Hopefully this game will be filled with more action and be able to utilize the voice commands more effectively.

French publisher Ubisoft has confirmed that a small team it its Shanghai development studio is currently hard at work at a sequel to last year’s voice-controlled Tom Clancy RTS offering EndWar.



The main development priority, according to creative director Michael De Plater, is improving both the depth and narrative of the single player experience.

“You can compare EndWar to World in Conflict or Company of Heroes, where they invest a lot in the storytelling,” De Plater told Videogamer.

“There’s no mysteries about how we could do that and apply it in the game – it’s just something we didn’t give attention to. Giving more attention to the single-player is straightforward to address and will make the game a lot of fun.

“After the first one, now we have a really good understanding of what to do, and we’ve solved lots of the hardest problems, which are accessibility, camera, controls, rendering that many characters, having that game work in 3D, our online as well, having persistent campaigns, having persistent player armies, so we’ve kind of done the hard stuff. There’s a really clear path forward there.”

    Awesome! I loved the first EndWar, even with its flaws, and I was hoping a sequel would be coming sooner rather than later.
