Ubisoft’s makes an attempt to drum up hype for a brand new Ghost Recon announcement tomorrow have been a tad undermined by their very own retailer back-end. Pre-order particulars for a collector’s version of the game have been snapped and posted on Reddit, though have since been eliminated. If the leak is correct, then Ghost Recon Breakpoint will proceed the story began by the newest Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC mission, Operation Oracle, that includes Punisher actor Jon Bernthal as unstable Ghost chief Cole D. Walker. The leak described the game as a “story-driven four-player experience”, which seems like a Wildlands sequel to me.
The newest mission for Wildlands has you teaming up with Walker, a Ghost crew chief who misplaced his squad to enemy drone tech and blames the CIA for it ending up in cartel fingers. By the top of the mission, he looks as if he’s on the verge of going rogue, so it wouldn’t be the most important twist to have him begin a one-man struggle of revenge and independence – that’s about par for Tom Clancyverse villains. The leaked information mentions the setting (Aurora, a fictional Pacific island), and that Walker can be combating with the help of a drone military, combating fireplace with fireplace.
The leak additionally included a German-language shot of the obligatory UbiGame big-box collectors edition, that includes a giant statue, presumably of the high-tech Colonel Kurtz that gamers are off searching. While any and all of this data – since scrubbed from official sources – could also be inaccurate, Ubisoft leaking it themselves does give it a greater probability of being true. The transfer to a fictional location and a morally impartial, high-tech villain would additionally match the sample, as Ubisoft appear to be pushing the Tom Clancy sequence into much less ‘overtly political’ (it’s not likely working) territory.
If the leak was correct, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint launches on October 4th. The game’s official premiere occurs tomorrow, May ninth at 7:30pm BST, in accordance with the official Ghost Recon Twitter account.
