The CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot said Thursday in a conference call that Ubisoft is now ready to plan for a Tony Clancy-branded MMO. They are slowly figuring out how to most efficient approach the vast MMO market.

Now that Ubisoft is free of royalty charges to Tom Clancy following the acquisition of all IP rights to the author's name, the French game maker will now pursue a Tom Clancy MMO.

During a call regarding the IP acquisition, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said, "On MMOs, the investment is really high. So we need to maximize the revenue. With the royalties we had [to pay], it was another barrier to creating a [Tom Clancy MMO], because the original investment was diminished by that.

"Having no fees, it's going to give us a full return, [so] we've really decided now to go for an MMO on the Clancy name, which is big."
