A new free-to-play FPS Tom Clancy game will be revealed soon

Ubisoft recently took to Twitter to announce that a new Tom Clancy game will be revealed on July 19th, 2021, from 11 AM PDT / 2 PM EST / 8 PM CEST / 11:30 PM IST. While the name is yet to be announced, scenes featuring gameplay have already been revealed online.

According to gameplay clips, the game will be a PVP first-person shooter, with abilities such as deploying a dome shield to minimize damage. The game appears to belong to the close combat FPS genre.

According to popular industry insider Tom Henderson, the game is reportedly going to be a free-to-play title. Recently Ubisoft has been investing a lot more in free-to-play titles that can generate revenue through in-game transactions. Games such as Division Heartland and the upcoming new Top Clancy IP seem to share that design philosophy.
