Continuing to slowly dole out details on Ubisoft Paris' Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, publisher Ubisoft has sent out a fact sheet detailing some of the features and gameplay found in the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions.

According to today's announcement, Tom Clany's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is "scheduled to ship Fall 2010." No differentiation between the various platforms was made, though Ubisoft has suggested the PC version could arrive later. Also in the works are Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP versions that sport "a different approach."

A multiplayer beta of the game is set to take place on Xbox 360 over the summer, with Xbox 360 copies of Splinter Cell: Conviction packing an "exclusive beta invitation."

    Since Ubisoft didn't learn its lesson with Assassins Creed II and the shitty DRM and insisting on ruining Splinter Cell Conviction with the same SHIT, maybe they will learn with Ghost Recon.
