Ubisoft: New Ghost Recon will be 'big blockbuster of 2010'

Next Ghost Recon to be the next big thing?
It was featured in Ubisoft's third quarter 2009 fiscal update yesterday, and it looks like the next Ghost Recon game will be making an appearance this year.
CEO of Ubisoft France Geoffroy Sardin has had a recent interview with French site GameKult (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http://www.gamekult.com/articles/A0000081989/&sl=fr&tl=en), and revealed (via Google translation) "The next big brand, which is expected to be a big blockbuster of 2010, the next Ghost Recon."
He also admitted that it needs to be equal with Modern Warfare 2, if not better - "The technological advances and competition are pushing us to do better. When you look at the excellent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in terms of content, multi and buzz, it needs to be level, if not much better." he said. "We therefore take the time to refine that title. But we have seen, played and it's just crazy."
In October, an unknown game titled Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Predator was rated in Australia (http://connectedconsoles.com/ps3-Unknown-Ghost-Recon-Game-Rated.cfm), so it was then thought that would be the name of the next game. However, Ubisoft trademarked (http://connectedconsoles.com/xbox-Ghost-Recon-Future-Soldier-trademarked-by-Ubisoft.cfm) Ghost Recon Future Soldier in mid-December, so your guess is as good as ours as to what the next game will be titled.
Looks like the next Ghost Recon really is one to watch. Hopefully we can see some action at either GDC in March, or E3 in June.

Unexpected titles are always welcome Ubi. Good luck!
Got to love the competition this year.
