Ubisoft today announced that
GeoEye has provided high-resolution images taken from its commercial Earth-imaging IKONOS satellite for integration into
Tom Clancy's HAWX (high-altitude warfare), a new title set in the Tom Clancy video game universe scheduled to be available for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in early 2009. The development team is working closely with specialists at GeoEye to integrate realistic satellite images for every location throughout the game, including Rio de Janeiro, Cape Canaveral and the Middle East. Set in the near future, Tom Clancy's HAWX imagines a world where a private military force has accumulated such power that it attacks the USA. Thrust into the cockpits of incredibly powerful and technologically advanced jet fighters, gamers will benefit from hi-tech piloting assistance, providing comfort, security and enhanced perception. As players gain skills and confidence, they will be able to shed the assistance.
