Ubisoft Announces Tom Clancy’s ShadowBreak For Mobile Devices

Logan

A new Player versus Player (PvP) bearing Tom Clancy’s name will soon be available for iOS and Android Mobile devices later this year. Ubisoft announced that they are working on Tom Clancy’s ShadowBreak, bringing a first person shooter and real-time strategy, and if you are a fan of video games bearing Tom Clancy’s name such as Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and The Division, then you probably will be anticipating this game.

I’m not much of an FPS gamer on my mobile as my previous experience was not really that good but this probably might pull me back to the small screen. In ShadowBreak, the player assumes control of disavowed military operators called ShadowBreak to meet the threat of radical factions called Shadow Nations.

The game is structured into 3-minute matches with players making their best to get the vantage positions and deploying their troops to pin down the enemy while their character gets into position to do some sharpshooting with their sniper rifle, defend the home base, and take out the enemy sniper. There is also a competitive player mode.

To begin with, the player can have up to four units for a match and can customize their loadouts with weapons augmented through dropped reward crates that need to be retrieved. At the Ubisoft website, a blogpost indicates the game has been designed to be enjoyed by those who are not skilled in either first person shooter or real-time strategy games:

“Our hope is that the balance between these two aspects is very tight,” says AJ Morales, ShadowBreak’s creative diretor. “If you’re a great marksman with an inferior troop loadout, you’re still going to have a strong avenue to victory. If you’re not as strong in your shooter prowess but have superior troops and strategy, you’ve still got a great shot at the win.”


When it gets launched later this year, Ubisoft are planning to evolve the game such a new modes, arenas, units, weapons. For now, it is has been soft-launched in Canada (lucky Canadians) and Pocketgamer’s Jon Mundy has a hands-on preview of the game:
