Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Announced!

Wow, just when I thought nothing could top the imminent stranglehold that Lost Planet 2 and Super Street Fighter IV will have on me this year Ubisoft (my 3rd favorite developer) goes and announces Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. 2010 is shaping up to be one of the greatest gaming years ever. Bioshock 2, Lost Planet 2, Mass Effect 2, Super Street Fighter IV and now GRAW: Future Soldier is set to hit at the end of this year. Pinch me cause I think I'm dreaming!

They haven't said whether or not this is going to be an XBox 360 exclusive; all signs point to no at this point in time. There's, however, a video coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace soon that reveals an open multiplayer public beta that will take place during the Summer for every Splinter Cell: Conviction owner. Check back here for all the latest news pertaining to all things GRAW. Here's the press release that Ubisoft shipped out this morning.
