True to the Tom Clancy's video games' tradition of innovation and excellence, Tom Clancy's EndWar is an all-new breed of strategy game. Designed from the ground up forconsoles, it is a fusion of next-gen. technology, superior design andfirst-class production values.

2020, with resources growing scarce every nation must look afterthemselves. Tensions between the US, Europe and Russia are near abreaking point. One spark will ignite the war to end all wars. EndWar lets players experience this geopolitical epic in two distinct phases:

In 2011, the United States and the European Unionsign the historic SLAMS (Space-Land-Air Missile Shield) Treaty,agreeing to co-develop technologies for a comprehensive, interlockinganti-ballistic missile system. Left out of the treaty, Russiaaccelerates development of its own system. SLAMS is activated in 2014.The US and EU launch test salvosagainst each other, which the SLAMS weapons completely destroy.Emboldened by the success of the tests, the US and EU pronounce "theend of strategic nuclear war," and the world celebrates a new age of peace and security.

However, in 2015 it is found that major oil companies haveoverstated the amount of recoverable oil reserves. Energy securitybecomes the explicit priority of governments around the world. Russia,being the world's number one supplier of natural gas and crude oil, hasits economy skyrocket up with the energy crisis, spending its oilprofits on modernizing its armed forces and utilizing its new-foundpower to influence world events. A nuclear war occurs between Saudi Arabia and Iranin 2016, killing 20 million, further compounding the energy crisis andgreatly destabilising the nations of Europe. With crude oil now at 800dollars a barrel, the alliance of individual countries of the European Unionare forced to band together to consolidate political, economic andmilitary power in the face of growing global security, environmentaland economic concerns. Morphing to become the new superpower of the"European Federation" (EF) in 2018, most of the wealthy Western Europeis now recognised as an independent state in its own right. Britain andIreland decline membership while Switzerland remains neutral. Relationsbetween the US and EF are not exactly warm- each regarding the other'spower as a threat to their own, the now fractured former allies embarkon a costly space arms race with each other.
