Shitballs
A recent listing on Ubisoft’s online store has leaked the next Ghost Recon game. Set for a reveal tomorrow afternoon, the latest entry in the long-running tactical squad shooter will be called Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Taking place after the recent “Operation Oracle” event in Wildlands, this newest game will see Team Ghost squaring off against The Punisher Cole D. Walker (played by Jon Bernthal) and his army of mechanized drones. Sounds like a political statement, despite Ubisoft not doing that.
Not much else is known about the title. A Reddit thread claims there will be four-player co-op with the game releasing on October 4, 2019, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We don’t have any confirmation on PvP or whether the game will be open-world like its predecessor (though I imagine it will be). What we do know is that a Ubisoft Store exclusive “Wolves” edition will be available. That will come with a 24cm figure of Cole, a map and art book, a Year 1 DLC pass, the “Ultimate Pack,” and three-day early access.
While I think it is a little early for a new Ghost Recon, this does make sense. Ubisoft stated that the last DLC for Wildlands would be a tease for things to come and it only makes sense to follow that up with a new game. I just hope the quality control is much higher because Wildlands is still a technical mess. It has a solid idea and a good foundation to build off of but drops the ball dramatically in terms of mission variety and polish. Fix that and Breakpoint could really hit it out of the park.
