Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (PC/PS4/XB1) - October 4, 2019

[6souls]

Reveal Coming May 9th

According to PracticalBrush12, the game's full title is Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 4th – which would definitely make sense, as last year's Assassin's Creed: Odyssey launched on October 5th, and we know that the series is taking a break in 2019.

Breakpoint will apparently be a "story-driven 4-player [co-op] experience," akin to what we've seen in Wildlands. While the 2017 game was all about fighting the Santa Blanca cartel, the upcoming entry reportedly sees the Ghosts facing Cole D. Walker – a character played by The Punisher star Jon Bernthal in the recent Wildlands DLC, entitled Operation Oracle. If the Redditior's claims are true, Walker is a rogue agent who killed three members of the Wildlands crew (Holt, Midas, and Waaver), forcing Nomad to establish a brand-new Ghost squad in Auroa – but it's not clear what that place actually is.

Finally, Skell Technology may also play a role in Breakpoint, as the mysterious drone company is supposedly helping Walker with high-end technology used by the Ghosts, Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher in Wildlands' Special Operation 1, and even Team Rainbow, making the actual gameplay more strategic.

More Wildlands-like is cool by me.

^this. I enjoyed the cooperative play in wildlands. Never played it solo so i can't say I'm all teary eyed at the supposed deaths of the ai teammates

I barely even got into it but I really liked my time playing (always seemed like a something came up and I played something else). I never experienced playing with others, but I bet it's a blast. I really liked the entire combat system and had zero complaints Far Cry 5 used similar. My only complaint was hearing "stay frosty" so many damn times.

PC digital distribution limited to the Ubisoft store and Epic launcher.

Just assume every future Ubisoft title will never show up on Steam anymore.

[Kalmado]

I think the only Ubi game I have that is from Steam is Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. All of my other Ubi games are from Uplay since the best sales are usually outside of steam. I can say I haven't had any issue with Uplay in lord knows how long at this point so I have zero issue with continuing using it.

Game looks good. Assuming Epic store has sales and the like? I can probably wait for this to go on sale if that's the case.

Only 4 Collector's Editions, Raids Announced

Ubisoft has announced Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, the latest instalment in the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchise. The game will be available from October 4th 2019 on the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. After successfully rebooting the Ghost Recon formula with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, Ubisoft Paris has created an entirely new adventure, putting players back in the boots of the Ghosts, an Elite US Special Operations Unit, but this time they are stranded behind enemy lines, facing their toughest enemy to date.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter set in a diverse and hostile open world. The game will be playable solo or in up to four-player co-op. Players will discover Auroa, a mysterious island where the most technically advanced facilities meet wild and untamed nature. Home to tech giant, Skell Technology, Auroa has fallen into the wrong hands and all contact has been lost.

The Wolves, a lethal ex-US Military unit of former Ghosts gone rogue, have taken over the island. Led by Nomad’s ex-brother-in-arms, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, they have reprogrammed Skell’s drones into killing machines and are ready to use them, no matter the casualties. Nomad and the Ghosts are sent in on a recon mission, but their helicopters are shot down. Injured, without support, and hunted down, players will live an intense military experience as they fight to survive, take down the Wolves and regain control of Auroa.

Steep slopes, accumulating injuries, and fatigue are new challenges for players to tackle as they test their survival skills in the varied terrains of Auroa. To overcome adversity, players will enjoy total freedom to accomplish their missions and have plenty of tactical options and tools at their disposal, including a set of new military features. They will be able to carry enemies and teammates’ bodies, blend into their environment with prone camo and set up camp with teammates in the bivouac to manage equipment, change classes, and fine-tune their strategies.

They will also be able to choose among thousands of customization combinations to create their perfect Ghost, and keep their character and progression through the game, in both the main campaign and Player-versus-Player (PvP), available at launch.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will include a robust post-launch content support plan, with regular updates after launch. New story arcs, classes and features will be continuously added, and for the first time in a Ghost Recon game, a new type of endgame content: Raids.

Additionally, Ubisoft announced the Gold, Ultimate and Wolves Collector’s Editions of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint as well as the standalone Ubicollectibles figurine of Nomad:

• The Gold Edition will include the base game and the Year 1 Pass.

• The Ultimate Edition will include the base game, the Year 1 Pass and the Ultimate Pack.

• The Wolves Collector’s Edition will include the base game, the Year 1 Pass, the Ultimate Pack, a Ubicollectibles high-end figurine of Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, a Steelbook, exclusive lithographs, Walker’s dog tag, and a waterproof map of Auroa as well as the soundtrack.

• The standalone Ubicollectibles figurine of Nomad is available for preorder on the Ubisoft store.

Fans who purchase the Gold, Ultimate, or Collector’s Editions will have access to the game up to three days early. Fans who pre-order Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will receive access to the Ghost Recon Breakpoint Beta closer to launch, as well as the Sentinel Corp. pack which includes exclusive gear.

Companies are too focused on paying big money for "celebrities" to hype games (Lil Wayne apparently sells military shooter games...) than using their funds to put out proper, functional and playable (enjoyable?) games. I can't wait for the dark times of game developing to be over.

[Kalmado]

Watched the reviews of this and it looks like trash so it will be a skip. Most likely it will be free in six months or so. Just saw a commercial tho saying it's a GoTY contender, best this, best that, etc. What a joke.

[Botosi]

After Division 1 I gave up on Ubisoft. They improved the game a lot after YEARS, but it was too little too late. Then they made The Division 2 which was just a crappy re-skin of 1.

Buggy games with crappy endgame and a bunch of updates that nerf the gear you just earned.
