Today Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, the latest installment in the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchise. The game will be available October 4 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The Ghosts Face Walker, Ex-Brother in Arms, Portrayed by Critically Acclaimed Actor Jon Bernthal, and his Lethal Wolves Unit
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter set in a diverse and hostile open world entirely playable solo or in up to four-player co-op. Players will discover Auroa, a mysterious island where the most technically advanced facilities meet wild and untamed nature. Home to drone creators, tech giant Skell Technology, Auroa has fallen into the wrong hands and all contact has been lost.
The Wolves, a lethal ex–US Military unit of former Ghosts gone rogue, have taken over the island. Led by Nomad’s ex-brother-in-arms, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, they have reprogrammed Skell’s drones into killing machines and are ready to use them, no matter the casualties. Nomad and the Ghosts are sent in on a recon mission, but their helicopters are shot down. Injured, without support, and hunted down, players will live an intense military experience as they fight to survive, take down the Wolves and regain control of Auroa.
Steep slopes, accumulating injuries, and fatigue are new challenges for players to tackle as they test their survival skills in the varied terrains of Auroa. To overcome adversity, players will enjoy total freedom to accomplish their missions and have plenty of tactical options and tools at their disposal, including a set of new military features. They will be able to carry enemies and teammates’ bodies, blend into their environment with prone camo and set up camp with teammates in the bivouac to manage equipment, change classes, and fine-tune their strategies.
They will also be able to choose among thousands of customization combinations to create their perfect Ghost, and keep their character and progression through the game in both the main campaign and Player-versus-player (PvP), available at launch.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will include a robust post-launch content support plan, with regular updates after launch. New story arcs, classes and features will be continuously added, and for the first time in a Ghost Recon game, a new type of endgame content: raids.
Additionally, Ubisoft announced the Gold, Ultimate and Wolves Collector’s Edition** of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint as well as the standalone Ubicollectibles® figurine of Nomad:
• The Gold Edition will include the base game and the Year 1 Pass.
• The Ultimate Edition will include the base game, the Year 1 Pass and the Ultimate Pack.

Game looks great, I love how they're going up against their own and how unpersonalized the combat has become, with you fighting with a serious disadvantage against machines. You're still Ghosts, but now you're more vulnerable than ever.
The limp system is also a very serious disadvantage that makes you even more vulnerable than just being low health. I love this since in Wildlands I almost never died unless I was overwhelmed by enemies, and even them I could stand my own for a long time.
This feels much more realistic and challenging, putting more meaning and value into being tactical than just go guns blazing. Even in the gameplay walkthrough, you could definitely see them struggling, as it should be when infiltrating a highly fortified base. Looking forward to learn more about it.
Thanks for all the HQ media as always.
And as shite as the AI was in the first game, I would have liked them to make it better instead of just scrapping it entirely and reserving it exclusively for online co-op play.
I honestly hope the final game looks nothing like what the gameplay showed come release.
I think RAGE 2 is probably going to be in the same boat as well and be online only and it's not even a MP game. They showed the content plans and there are "World Events" for each month like Anthem. I have tried to find out if it forces only online but none of the devs are commenting which doesn't look good.
Well regardless if either game is online only I will just return them, still I will be gutted for I am looking forward to both of them :(
