Another upcoming addition to Ubisoft’s ambitious next-gen initiative is a title that first debuted at E3 this year. While details on Haze are still (oh dear) hazy, what we do know leads us to believe the game is shaping up to be a politically charged action title. Haze is set 25 years in the future and stars Jack Carpenter, a newly enlisted solider fighting in South America for a private military firm called Mantel. But the Mantel corporation seems to be behind a darker conspiracy; from what we gather using mind control on its fighters. When Carpenter goes haywire and overcomes his, will he enact revenge on the true villains?

The development team, Free Radical, is best known for its well-received console action title, TimeSplitters. While TimeSplitters was a tad more light-hearted, the theme of Haze is much darker and foreboding. Whatever the case may be, Haze certainly has a formula ripe for commentary on the state of worldwide military and political affairs, Haze is gunning for an early 2007 release.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the number one forthcoming political game is just right around the corner, in more than one way...
