Man, the tech we've got is so good these days, sometimes you just have to sit back and marvel at it. This thing is beautiful. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the latest installment in the Ghost Recon franchise, and this trailer is unbelievably badass.
After pretty much rebooting the Ghost Recon formula with Wildlands, Ubisoft Paris have created an entirely new adventure, putting players back in the boots of the Ghosts, the Elite US Special Operations Unit. This time around they are stranded behind enemy lines, facing their toughest enemy to date, which is no real surprise, since every game they have to face their "toughest enemy to date". So far, so same.
This time, however, you are facing off against The Wolves, a lethal ex–US Military unit of former Ghosts gone rogue, who have taken over the island of Auroa. Led by Nomad's ex-brother-in-arms, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, they have reprogrammed Skell's drones into killing machines which is a new twist. Nomad and the Ghosts are sent in on a recon mission, but their helicopters are shot down (of course) and now they're busted up, with no support and being hunted by stone cold killers.
Set in a hostile open world, and you can play the whole thing either solo or in up to four-player co-op. One of the new locations, Auroa, is a mysterious island where the most technically advanced facilities meet wild nature, and the dichotomy should provide for some interesting firefights. There's all kinds of terrain, from steep slopes, to volcanoes for some reason, and injuries and fatigue are new challenges for players to deal with as they test their survival skills in the varied terrains of Auroa.
Watch the epic trailer below, the game launches for real on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 4, 2019.
But don't pre-order. We don't pre-order, regardless of the game, remember? Good.
