On February 9, Ubisoft released its disappointing fiscal third quarter results and reported the first nine months of the fiscal year yielded a 22% drop in total sales. That same day CEO Yves Guillemot pledged the company would focus more on big-name titles and make them more often. The company reaffirmed that pledge today by going back to the Tom Clancy well for H.A.W.X 2.

Ubisoft made it official this afternoon: Ubisoft Bucharest is currently developing near-future air combat sim H.A.W.X 2 for the Xbox 360, Windows PCs, PlayStation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. A fall release is planned.

"With over 1 million units sold worldwide, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. has become a very successful brand for Ubisoft," stated Bogdan Bridinel, creative director at Ubisoft. "This new H.A.W.X. game is directly inspired by Tom Clancy's books, and it will enable fans to once again experience the excitement and intensity that established H.A.W.X. as a successful brand."
