  1. Wildland's writer Lewis Manalo and Matt Patak (The Division) are developing a brand new game and I was lucky enough to snag an exclusive interview with them both.

    Forums regulars can snag a preview now before it goes live right HERE.

    Best of luck to them with their new shooter, hopefully we can get some beta codes when it comes to game testing!

  2. Compared to the gaming landscape when Wildlands was released, the current financial landscape is a mess.

    Back then, in comparison, money was aplenty for game development and marketing. You only have to look at the lavish expense Ubisoft went to promoting their games at E3 compared to more recent years.

    Now there's a risk of a Ubisoft financial buyout looming its ugly head again and risking the future of Ubisoft, and by association, also the future of Ghost Recon. I've quickly summarised my concerns in this article about the risk of a  Tencent takeover here.

    Worrying times for Ghost Recon fans!

  3. Hi! Great to hear from you after all this time!

     That would be so cool if you made a new map. You might have noticed that there are actually some people still occasionally making new mods for GR which is amazing. 

    Things are very uncertain at Ubi these days as you probably saw, but I know they are definitely not ready to hang up on GR quite yet…..

     

  4. Insider gaming are reporting that they have seen gameplay of the next Ghost Recon game, expected 2025/26.

    Graphically, the footage provided to Insider Gaming under the condition that the footage isn’t shared or goes public shows a significant graphical improvement over its predecessors and is best compared to something akin to Ready or Not.

     

    From being personally involved in the release of Ghost Recon games (Wildlands in particular) and having felt the level of Ubisoft security first hand, I can tell you that this description of "provided footage" is unlikely, to put it nicely. 

    If Ubisoft felt the need to share footage at this very early stage, they would not "provide" it. They would invite you in to their office in a controlled environment, tell you to put your phones away, shut the door and window blinds and make you sign an NDA.

    Under no circumstances are Ubisoft sending out footage of unreleased games to random websites and saying "shhhh - don't share", that's just hysterical to suggest.

    The article also reports that the footage demonstrates a "significant graphical improvement over its predecessors".  Wildlands and Breakpoint are absolutely stunning games graphically. Granted, things improve as the years go by, and it would be reasonable to expect some areas of eye candy would be enhanced, but "Significantly"? I think not.

    And then to compare it to Ready or Not..... I've watched 4k footage of Ready or Not, and it might very well be a fantastic game, but to suggest it is presents a significant graphical improvement over Wildlands/Breakpoint is really pushing it. Some of what I've see on RoN is pretty janky compared to Wildlands. 

    So, word to the wise, when you see Ghost Recon "Exclusives" being circulated this early, don't get too hyped about what you read.
