Ubisoft is all set to launch a new free-to-play first-person shooter, to compete with the likes of Warzone and Cold War. Announced today, the game is a 6v6 shooter with a plethora of game modes and factions available for players.

The major highlight of the game is the fact that it mixes and matches elements from various games in Tom Clancy's franchise. This includes the likes of The Division, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon. While fans are yet to get their wishes answered with a Splinter Cell announcement, the crossover is still something to cherish about.

While we are yet to get a release date of the upcoming title, Ubisoft will be starting the closed beta of the game pretty soon. Here is how you can register for the same.
