Modding tools have the ability to extend a game's life significantly. User-generated content is what keeps players coming back with fresh, new gameplay. Unfortunately, Ubisoft's real-time strategy game R.U.S.E. will not have that liberty. On the game's official forum, Ubi made the announcement that R.U.S.E. will not have modding tools.
"The gaming community has talent, that's an undeniable fact and we all love mods," wrote Ubisoft's community developer. "However when it comes to the vastness of the maps we are talking about in R.U.S.E., things tend to be a little bit tougher and it makes the development process of a mapping tool a real challenge. So sadly there is no plan to include a mapping tool when the game will hit shelves. But you may not need it considering the thousands square kilometers waiting for you!"
R.U.S.E. was recently delayed into Ubisoft's next fiscal year, likely putting it in November.
