Ubisoft has officially announced the ongoing development of a new Ghost Recon title.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is in development at Ubisoft’s Paris studio - which was responsible for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and its follow up - and is scheduled to be released worldwide during the 2010 holiday season.

“… The game will feature cutting-edge technology, prototype high-tech weaponry, and state-of-the-art single-player and multiplayer modes,” said Ubisoft. “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will go beyond the core Ghost Recon franchise and deliver a fresh gameplay experience, with an unparalleled level of quality that will excite long-time fans and newcomers alike.”

An Xbox 360 Ghost Recon: Future Soldier multiplayer beta will commence this summer. Beta invitations will be available “for a limited time” to customers who purchase Splinter Cell Conviction for Xbox 360, which releases on April 16.

Future Soldier was confirmed to be a multiplatform release by Ubisoft community developer Kimi Matsuzaki. A trailer for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC title is due to be released tomorrow morning.

Ubisoft first confirmed work on a new Ghost Recon title in January 2009, at the time noting that it would be released before the end of the current financial year ending March 2010.

The publisher is due to report its third quarter sales results later today.

I would guess it's because the Xbox Live infrastructure is better set up to handle it. To participate in a free beta still requires Gold membership and that's where the money to support the required infrastructure comes from.

That Sony is still able to support a fairly impressive platform as a free service is impressive, but it would lose a lot of money through support for betas before people have paid anything. Unless returns via game sales were virtually guaranteed, it doesn't make much business sense.

Why does the 360 version of these games more often than not get a beta and the PS3 doesn't?
