It's been a rather turbulent period for Ubisoft fans lately, with studio shifts, layoffs, and development setbacks directly impacting some of gaming's biggest titles.
Ghost Recon is one of them, and it was only recently that I spoke about my concerns regarding the next game amid its internal struggles. There was one silver lining I referred to in that article: That's No Moon's upcoming third-person tactical shooter, Crossfire, which could provide a welcome alternative in the meantime.
However, it seems we might be able to go a step better than that and revisit one of Tom Clancy's most popular entries in the form of Wildlands, which is reportedly set to receive a major update that presents the perfect opportunity to scratch that Ghost Recon itch.
Wildlands Next in Line for Major Ubisoft Update
With the likes of Assassin's Creed and Far Cry experiencing development changes and disruptions behind the scenes, delays for upcoming games have somewhat become the norm - not just over at Ubisoft - but for several major studios around the world.
While these setbacks are a massive shame for gamers and the industry as a whole, Ubisoft in particular has still been able to keep players entertained through remakes and major updates across existing titles.
Ghost Recon Wildlands appears to be next on the agenda, with a leaked store listing pointing to a native current-gen release for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S featuring 4K resolution at 60 FPS. Additionally, it will reportedly combine the base game with the Season Pass, Year 2 Pass, and legacy extra packs, as well as a fresh story mission titled Last Rights alongside the new Nightfall Protocol and Cold Eye cosmetic packs.
Ubisoft acknowledged the speculation and confirmed that more details will be shared on August 6. While it won't be a full remake or remaster as we've seen with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, for example, this is still an exciting development for Ghost Recon fans, including myself.
I remember playing Wildlands from day one when it launched back in 2017, and it's a game that has stuck with me ever since. There was just something so cool and unique about leading an elite U.S. Special Operations team through the heart of an open-world Bolivia, tasked with taking down the Santa Blanca Cartel and the corrupt military forces. From the environment and soundtrack to the story and characters, it was a perfect combination that worked incredibly well, ultimately leading it to become one of the most popular Ghost Recon games in recent years.
No, it may not be a brand new installment, but it will almost certainly feel like one, especially with 4K resolution, 60 FPS, and the arrival of a fresh story mission. I can't actually recall playing any of the season pass or DLC content either, so for me, this would be more than just an update.
Not much else is currently known, and as ever with leaks, it's important to take everything with a pinch of salt. That said, the fact that Ubisoft acknowledged it and didn't deny anything is rather telling, and all we can do now is wait for August 6 to arrive, when the studio says it will "celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Ghost Recon."
Fingers crossed the leaks are accurate, because if there's one Tom Clancy game I wish I could experience all over again, it would be Wildlands, and you bet I'll be one of the first to reunite with Nomad, Midas, Holt, and Weaver. This with a bunch of current-gen updates and new content? Oof. Perfection.
See you out there, Ghosts... hopefully!
