The info came in a trailer celebrating a decade of the franchise at Ubisoft in the Ubidays 2008 press conference in Paris.

The event is live now.

Here. Valve must be laughing all the way to the bank. Ubisoft announced today that it’s bringing 40 games to Steam, a deal that makes it the most prolific on the download service.

Assassin’s Creed is already to pre-purchase on Steam, but the new deal will see the Tom Clancy series, the Heroes of Might & Magic series, the IL-2 Sturmovik games and Far Cry added.

According to this, Ubisoft’s shares rose 12 percent to €54.98 on the news it had bought all rights to the Tom Clancy brand last week. Before the spike, shares in the French firm had slid 29 percent this year.

Ubisoft is thought to have paid in the region of €60 million for the IP, and now owns all rights to publish books, games, movies and merchandise related to the franchise.

President Yves Guillemot also confirmed that the publisher is to start work on a Clancy-based MMO in the wake of the deal.

Ubisoft announced last Thursday – just as most of the British press had landed in the pub to “celebrate” Easter – that it had acquired the rights to the Tom Clancy brand from the man himself, in itself a major announcement.

In an investor call after the press release was issued, though, Ubi CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the publisher was now to start work on a Clancy-branded MMO. It only takes a small leap of logic to realise that the ramifications of such a project could be seismic.
