Tom Clancy's EndWar is a next-generation video game developed by Ubisoft which takes place in 2020 during the onset of a third and final world war. Players join one of three sides - US, Europe or Russia - and must command their army to become the most powerful force on Earth. The fully destructive play environment spans several major cities including Paris, Moscow and Washington D.C., while 16-player matchups can be expanded into persistent battles lasting for months at a time. Creative director Michael de Plater (Rome Total War) has designed the game to redefine strategy gaming, with voice commands available as an alternative method of control.
