Ghost Recon Future Soldier releases on PC June 12

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier hits the PC as either a box copy or digital download on June 12, Ubisoft announced today. And it won't require always-on Internet to play, unless you're after online gaming.

The PC version of the upcoming shooter will include DX11 rendering support, new assets and post process effects, multi-monitor support and TriDef stereoscopic support. The game will also have extended part functions, like text party chat, an online widget and make use of the Uplay Friends system.

Players who pick up the game will need at least temporary broadband support for a "one-time product registration" when the game is first launched. After that, Ubi says, the game will only need online support for online modes. That makes a lot of sense.

Here's a rundown of the system specs:
