French-based publisher Ubisoft today sent word that that a pre-launch VIP demo for the Xbox 360 version of Tom Clancy’s EndWar will begin in October, a month before the game’s scheduled mid-November release.

“We believe EndWar will revolutionize the strategy genre on consoles and are thrilled gamers will be able to get a little taste of why we are so excited about EndWar’s release this holiday season,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “With its innovative voice command and intuitive game design, fans will be able to learn first hand how a console game was able to win the judges over and win Best Strategy Game of E3 for the first time in a category previously dominated by PC titles.”

Access into the pre-launch VIP demo will be limited, with Xbox Live tokens being given out to pre-orderers of the game on a first-come first-served basis at various participating retailers, such as GameStop.

The demo itself will give players a taste of EndWar’s multiplayer aspect, serving as a final stress test for the game’s online servers.
