The Ghost Recon name probably isn’t all that enticing to fans of games like Fortnite and PUBG. So, its starting over from scratch in a sense. Ghost Recon as a franchise and Ubisoft as a developer aren’t known for BR games. Ghost Recon fans (the vocal ones anyway) are overwhelmingly angry about the announcement so they won’t be playing it. As it is, the direction taken by Wildlands and Breakpoint divided the existing fan base with some praising the new direction and others deriding it. Fans of challenging slower paced tactical shooters probably don’t crossover as much with games like Fortnite. It won’t.įirst off, Ghost Recon has a small but dedicated fan base. The hilarious part is, Ubisoft thinks this will work. Battle Royal games are lower effort titles. Or they have, and the project was either mismanaged or took a long time to figure out mechanically. Ubisoft also claims that they’ve been working on the game for three years. It’s a game type that lives on them without the push back they get from single player titles. Rather than listening to the fans, Ubisoft is doubling down and taking the Ghost Recon franchise to the next level, which to them is a free to play Battle Royal game filled with predatory microtransactions. The bigger problem is that the community pushed back on Ghost Recon as a looter shooter and rightly so. Beyond that, its clear that the Ghost Recon community wants nothing to do with Battle Royal games. Whether or not there is room for another Battle Royal game on the market is another matter entirely. It’s obvious based on their sales numbers and popularity that there is a definite market for them. ![]() Which actually warms my heart, that finally people had enough of garbage tier free to play whale exploitation machines pretending to be games. Because everywhere there is huge pushback against this type of games. Where is this majority? They sure as hell not in any communities I’ve seen. They are trying to attract an entirely different customer base which will make them more money. They don’t give a shit what their existing customers want. There are plenty of Battle Royal games out there and Ubisoft just wants a piece of the action. They are also low effort titles to crank out compared to some massive AAA single/cooperative open world game with a structured narrative. Yet time and time again, Ubisoft does the exact opposite of what the players want most of the time.īattle Royals do make a lot of money through predatory microtransactions. Ubisoft has staff on the forums talking about how much they value the community feedback and that they are listening. What Ubisoft doesn’t understand is that the Ghost Recon community wants nothing to do with a Battle Royal Ghost Recon game. BR’s sell, are easy to promote and get great exposure on streaming platforms. During the first closed test, three classes will be available: Assault, Support, and Scout.Īs much as the comparatively small GR community wants to cry, BR’s are what the majority of people want right now. Playing as an assortment of customizable military contractors, players will be able to choose from multiple unique classes, upgrade their contractors to suit their playstyle and needs, and swap between them mid-match. All other teams in the game are notified when an extraction is called, so they can attempt to stop the leading team from leaving the island and winning the match. Once a team has collected enough intel, they’ll be able to head to a drop zone and call for an extraction. There’s no fighting to be the last team standing, and no ever-closing circle instead, teams will complete dynamic objectives across the map to collect intel. Ghost Recon Frontline’s flagship mode, Expedition, places more than 100 players (in teams of three) on the island of Drakemoor, but this isn’t your typical battle royale. Ghost Recon Frontline will feature full cross-play at launch on all platforms. The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Stadia, Amazon Luna, and PC via Ubisoft Connect. ![]() Ubisoft has announced Ghost Recon Frontline, an upcoming free-to-play PvP FPS shooter set in the Ghost Recon universe.
