Ghost Recon Breakpoint was launched last fall to very little fanfare. It seemed to fly a bit under the radar, though, that's what a good Ghost does. To that end with everyone cooped up indoors and social distancing and whatnot, Ubisoft have offered players a great opportunity to enjoy some online co-op with friends - and those friends don't even need to purchase the game.
When Ghost Recon: Breakpoint released late in 2019 it was met with a less than stellar reception. This in turn led developer Ubisoft to remap the game’s focus and direction for the future. We now seem to be at the first step of that new plan, with the impending release of the “Ghost Experience,” which comes to all platforms March 24th. As laid out in their post, Ubisoft’s Ghost Mode breaks the game into three modes: Regular, Immersive and Custom. Regular is how the game was released originally, Immersive removes gear levels and tiered loot so players can simply be Ghosts, and Custom allows players to mix and match different gameplay settings as they see fit.
The newest title update (6.1) arrives today for Tom Clancy's The Division 2, and in addition to the usual bug fixes and tweaks, the former hub of our nation's government will be getting some festive makeover. The "Situation: Snowball" event kicks off today and will run for the next few weeks. If you login anytime during the event, you'll receive a "Holiday Supplies Care Package" that includes three Standard Apparel Keys, three pieces of equipment, and (yep) a Santa hat.
The Ghost Recon series goes back to 2001, but due to lackluster sales of the most recent entry in the series, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ubisoft has been prompted to reevaluate their development and support for the series. While the previous entry, 2017’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands, currently holds a score of 79 on Metacritic and received critical praise, Ubisoft may have been a bit too eager to put out a sequel to a “live” game that was receiving new content into this current year. Yves Guillemot, CEO and co-founder of Ubisoft, even highlighted this in a recent financial update to investors.. In response to the lackluster review and sale combination, Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon development team issued a lengthy statement laying out the new support plan.
Sir Tom of Clancy's latest military psuedo-RPG has been the talk of town ever since its launch earlier this month. Lest we forget, though, the Good Sir Clancy's other military psuedo-RPG is still alive and well. To reinforce this fact, Ubisoft just dropped another significant content update for The Division 2.
Tom Clancy's latest fever dream is nearly upon us. I can already feel it subsuming my own reality - spreadsheets are starting to display UAV data, pavement-laden interstates are becoming intertwined with mountaintop backroads, and my coworkers' clothing is being replaced with "tactical" vests. Since we're already quite far along the path, we may as well usher in the arrival of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint with its new launch trailer.
Video game trailers that take a comedic approach can be hit or miss, but the new trailer for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint featuring Lil’ Wayne and directed by David Leitch (“Deadpool 2”) is a complete success. Not only does the trailer show off nothing but co-op action, but it pokes fun at the celebrity involved on a personal level, rather than just having him playing (or lack thereof) Breakpoint. You can check out the trailer below.
As the upcoming Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint nears it’s October 4th, 2019 release date the game has received a full list of PC specs needed for you and your team of Ghosts to jump in and take out the rogue Ghosts (calling themselves “Wolves”) that have invaded Aurora in the South Pacific. Below we have included a full list of required PC specs, but it should be noted that the game will be coming to Google Stadia, which will allow players to play on PC via an internet connection regardless of their system specifications.
If you enjoyed all of the Tom Clancy's The Division 2 there has been so far, and are eager to get a sneak peek at what's next and also play the PC version of the game, then fire up Uplay and go access the Public Test Server. The development team at Ubisoft has put up an early build of the forthcoming "Episode 1" content - which adds some new loot, two new missions, and a new gameplay mode titled "Expeditions" - and you can play through all of that for the next 24 hours.
Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has been out for just over three months and, in contrast to the original game, Ubisoft is releasing new content right out of the gate to ensure things stay fresh for players. An eight player raid is already in effect, along with a smaller free content update, and more will be coming over the next year.
After a delay in order to address feedback from last month's Tidal Basin update, Ubisoft dropped a new update yesterday for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 that added two new "Classified Assignments" for Annual Pass holders, and (more importantly) the 8-player raid. The raid just went live and if you're reading this, you're probably not racing to be the world's first group to clear it, but you might be interested in seeing those attempts or checking it our on your own.
Two weeks ago, "Operation Oracle" dropped for Ghost Recon Wildlands and introduced a new character - Major Cole D. Walker (voiced by Jon Bernthal) - along with a couple missions featuring him. Ubisoft also teased that these missions would "challenge your perception of the truth [within the game world]" and that what you "discover here might very well set the scene for the future." A week later, that future was revealed as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint and - surprise! - Bernthal will be returning as Walker and the primary antagonist.
