Ubisoft is planning a new Tom Clancy game announcement for July 19

The good news here is that Ubisoft seems to empathize with its disappointed fans.

As it turns out, while Extraction is still going to be delayed until an undefined date in 2022, Ubisoft is planning to announce a new Tom Clancy game.

The announcement of a forthcoming new Tom Clancy game announcement comes from Ubisoft itself and is just as big of a surprise as the delay of Extraction. The short but simple tweet refers to the reveal of a new Tom Clancy game on July 19 at 11:00am PT.

Ubisoft was careful not to mention other details outside of simply saying that "things are going to get wild", but it did let a short clip pass by, as shared by IGN just a minute after Ubisoft's announcement of the new Tom Clancy game. From what we can tell, the new game is a first-person shooter with team-based gameplay, which is not unlike what we've come to expect from shooters like Call of Duty and The Division.

The best example of the game playing similarly to the latter is that we see a player using an activation shield to block enemy gunfire for a couple of seconds.

These events would seem to confirm earlier rumors that Ubisoft was working on a new FPS title based on The Division. Project BattleCat was reportedly a shooter with elements from both Splinter Cell and The Division. The rumors died down because the game wasn't announced at E3 2021 as expected, but it is possible that the leaked information was true and that the development team just needed a bit more time to prepare the product for a proper showcase.

Having said that, fans of Tom Clancy games won't have to wait too long to find out what the new Tom Clancy game from Ubisoft really is and when it is arriving.
