Ubisoft today announced that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier has passed the gold master stage of development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That was the basics in today’s press announcement, but it was the prepared statement from Ubisoft that really caught our attention.
“While one of our competitors recently revealed plans to imitate our game’s future technology for their release in the fall, we’re proud to be bringing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier to retail this month,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Ubisoft. Could this be a dig at Call of Duty: Black Ops II? Yeah, probably.
That’s not a huge surprise as Activision gets some flames with just about every Call of Duty release. EA, which is going head-to-head against Activision this fall by releasing the next installment of Medal of Honor, had some opinions about Black Ops II official reveal, too.
It looks like Ubisoft has some opinions on the subject, too. “Future Soldier has an unparalleled amount of high-tech weapons, gadgets and technology based on real prototypes currently in development that will show gamers the true meaning of future warfare.”
It’s all a bit silly, but still a bit entertaining.
