Ubisoft have announced that the demo version of the next Tom Clancy game - H.A.W.X. - will be released on Xbox Live tomorrow, with the Playstation 3 version coming on Thursday and the PC version due February 26. The full game will be released on March 6 (console) and March 13 (PC).

Below are the key feature bullets shamelessly stolen from the press release:

• Co-op enabled for up to 4 players - Jump in/Jump out

• Gain experience points and unlock up to three real, licensed planes in the demo:
o F-16A Fighting Falcon
o SU-35 Super Flanker
o AV-8B Harrier II

• Choose between two different game modes:
o Normal - Default control type
o Expert - Allows full control over the aircraft in "Assistance Off" mode

• Two heart-pounding missions:
o Operation: Off Certification (Training mode)
• Learn the skills of an elite pilot in "Assistance Off" mode and pull extreme maneuvers
o Operation: Glass Hammer (Rio De Janeiro)
• Take flight over GeoEye technology (the world's best satellite data), and witness Brazil like never before
• Learn to use the Enhanced Reality System in "Assistance On" mode, where your plane's computer calculates the best interception course for you to follow to attack an enemy, evade a missile or hit a ground target

H.A.W.X. has been developed by the same Ubisoft team that brought us both Blazing Angels titles. The images below are from the demo.
