Ubisoft's HAWX team is using information shot from the IKONOS satellite to put directly into HAWX's 16 international locations including Rio de Janeiro, Cape Canaveral and the Middle East.

The team also worked with the United States Geological Service (USGS) and Center for Earth Resources Observations and Science (EROS) to understand the concept of topographical 'underpinning' to create a realistic representation of the earth.

HAWX will fly into stores sometime in early 2009. Check out the IKONOS satellite imagery in HAWX below.
