Ubisoft has taken the wraps off R.U.S.E., a new intellectual property developed by Eugen Systems (creators of Art of War: Direct Action). R.U.S.E. is scheduled to be released on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC for the fiscal year 2009/2010.

R.U.S.E. is a real-time strategy game that “allows players to bluff their enemies to lead their nation to victory, controlling the action using views that range seamlessly from the heart of the battlefield to the full theatre of war.”

Players will fight a war of perception, where success is determined by the ability to deceive and mislead the enemy. The game’s interface will enable players to shift from a birds-eye view of the conflict to the midst of the battle thanks to the new IRISZOOM Engine.

A teaser website for the game has been launched and expect more news about R.U.S.E. from GDC over the next few days.

“With R.U.S.E., Ubisoft is once again shaking up a genre, offering an RTS with a twist that will thrill gamers,” said John Parkes, EMEA marketing director at Ubisoft. “Ubisoft is known for innovation and R.U.S.E. continues that tradition, offering the most immense and detailed maps ever seen in an RTS. Players can explore the maps using IRISZOOM Engine, which provides an aerial, smooth interaction unlike anything ever seen before.”
