New Ghost Recon Game Confirmed by Ubisoft
It’s been nearly six years since we last saw a new Ghost Recon game, but now it seems that Ubisoft is finally ready to revisit the franchise, as they’ve recently confirmed that a new Ghost Recon game is in the works.
Don’t get too excited yet, though, as the publisher is still keeping details under tight wraps, and given it hasn’t been officially teased or announced, it won’t be out for quite some time.
Ubisoft Outlines a New Ghost Recon Game as an Upcoming Release
It’s not common for a game to be downright confirmed unless it’s accompanied by a teaser or trailer of sorts, yet that’s exactly what Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot, said at the company’s annual general shareholders’ meeting (Game File) when asked about the publisher’s history of live service. One such example that was brought up was the ongoing success of Rainbow Six Siege, which has recently been updated with a new version, Rainbow Six Siege X.
However, the surprise came after the comment when Guillemot touched briefly upon upcoming launches, those being with The Division and the Ghost Recon series.
“In addition to the flagship game that I just mentioned,” Guillemot said, “our objective is to also make strong progress in the growing market, generally speaking, by continuing to enhance our current experiences that we offer—and capitalizing on upcoming launches, such as The Division and Ghost Recon.”
Outside of the confirmation, a comment by Ubisoft CFO Frederick Duguet is the only other tidbit of info, but it’s one that might have revealed something big.
Duguet commented that their recent influx of money from Tencent, part of it will be “used for future development of other major brand names. So we’ve got… Ghost Recon is just one example, for our first-person-shooter-type games.”
Does this mean Ghost Recon is transitioning from third-person to first-person? Or is Duguet just lumping the franchise with their first-person shooter games (which most likely is what it means)?
Sadly, nothing beyond that was shared, though given that he marks it as an upcoming launch, we suspect the release is coming a lot sooner than later.
Regarding The Division, Ubisoft is currently developing a free-to-play mobile game for the franchise, titled The Division Resurgence, which is scheduled to release in Fiscal Year 2025, after a delay. There’s also The Division 3, which we know is in development, but after its announcement two years ago, Ubisoft hasn’t said anything about it since.
