Ubisoft has announced that combat flight simulator Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 6, 2009.
Taking place in the same universe as the acclaimed Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter series, H.A.W.X. kicks off in the year 2012 as global conflict erupts after an attack is made on the United States by an increasingly dominant Private Military Company (PMC).
Players hop in the shoes of former U.S. Air Force pilot David Crinshaw, who initially participates in various missions for the PMC before rejoining the USAF to defend his home country.
The game plucks various elements from the Tom Clancy universe, including the missile defence system found in EndWar, and features an Enhanced Reality System (ERE) that accommodates numerous tools such as radar, missile detection, anti-crash system, damage control system and tactical map.
