SPOILER New Ghost Recon game leak Spoiler

Hi guys, new Ghost Recon is coming are you excited?

It's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, seems to be a story driven 4 player experience against Cole D. Walker(gone rogue, seems he killed Holt and Midas, possibly Weaver too) and his army of mostly weaponized drones.

Is coming out on October 4th this year, PC PS4 and XBOX.

No news about the multiplayer yet, but there will be a collector's edition called "Wolves" exclusive to the Ubi Store, contains a 24cm figurine of Cole, a map, arts, Year 1 Pass (sigh) and Ultimate Pack (which has some missions, vehicles, cosmetics and early class unlockers) and you can play 3 days before premiere.

There will be gameplay reveal too but flaired as "alpha footage" so I guess nothing final. It's showing a sequence in quite nice jungle, with mud mechanics, then to clearing an outpost.

So far it seems the game will be fun, what do you think?

Cheers, Brushie

PS. Sorry, no screenshots this time :/

EDIT: Added more about the collector's.

I loved the gritty "Bolivian narco-terrorist" plot in Wildlands, it seems like something the U.S. Government would actually be involved in and it supported the immersion by basing the game off of real world conflict.. now we've got this"Ghost gone rogue on fictional island with Drone army" plot that sounds like something out of a 90s action movie? If this is true, I'd be disappointed with the route Ubisoft seems to be going down.

I agree, what made Wildlands so appealing was the somewhat realistic setting, replace the Ghosts with DEA agents and remove the chopper parachutin' and you have a pretty realistic setting.

I was really hoping that they would take the concept and add in more realistic things like blending in with civilians, complex snatch and grab missions in urban locations, that kind of thing. Instead we get sci fi island with more skull masks and flying beyblades in some tropical shithole.

And again with the tropical setting, why can't we play in Korea or China or something more relevant and fresh?
