With Ubisoft acquiring the Tom Clancy titles earlier this morning, it looks like the company is poised to take the brand to the MMOG arena. According to next-gen.biz, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has plans to take the Tom Clancy title online.

"…we've really decided now to go for an MMO on the Clancy name, which is big," said Guillemot.

Even though Ubisoft has said it has the technology required to do a Tom Clancy MMO, the company is still debating on which Tom Clancy franchise to utilize, "You have Splinter Cell, Sam Fisher, the Rainbow [Sixes], the GRAWs and all the other new creations we have. So this [IP acquisition] will make that [MMO] product a really big product," said Guillemot.

The untitled game is not set for a release date, nor is it known which platforms it will be arriving on. Guillemot still isn't sure which MMO angle the game will take; he did however estimate the game to cost anywhere from $40 and $50 million to produce.

it would be cool if they combined all of the franchises and made them part of a bigger story.
