Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is an upcoming open world tactical shooter video game in development by Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft says it will be one of the biggest open world games that they ever published, including mountains, forests, deserts. The game will be playable on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It will be the tenth installment in the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise and will be the first Ghost Recon game to feature an open world environment. The game will drop the futuristic setting introduced in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and will feature a setting similar to the original Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.

Setting

The game is set in Bolivia, which, in the game, is the largest supplier of drugs like cocaine in the world. The supplies of such drugs are controlled by the Santa Blanca drug cartel, a powerful organization whose influence has destabilized the region. The rise in power of these drug cartels concerns the United States Government, as they have become a world threat. As a result, the United States Army dispatches an elite special operations unit called "the Ghosts" to destroy and reveal the evil connection between the drug cartel and the local government.[1]

Gameplay

The game features a wide range of environments, which include mountains and deserts, and players will be able to parachute whilst exploring these.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a tactical shooter (in a third person shooter camera) that is set in Bolivia. Players play as a member of the Ghosts, a fictional elite team in the United States Army.[2] The game will not be set in a futuristic setting unlike its predecessors like Advanced Warfighter or Future Soldier. Instead, the game is set in modern day, similar to the original Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. As a result, the weaponry featured in the game will be typical and more realistic and will be similar to the weapons most militaries around the world use today.[1] However, drones will still be featured and can be used to tag and highlight enemies and objectives, or as weapons to attack enemies.[3] The game will be the first entry to feature an open world, which features nine different types of terrain such as mountains and desert, with a dynamic day-night cycle and weather system.[4] Carrying out missions during daytime allows players to spot enemies easily, while completing missions at night grant players a tactical advantage, as the night offers players better concealment.[1] Players are also tasked with making observations before carrying out missions. A variety of vehicles, such as dirt bikes and dune buggies will also feature in the game.[1] Wildlands will feature side-missions, unlike its predecessors.[4]

When completing missions, players can reach the location where the mission starts through a variety of ways. Players can parachute from a helicopter or drive towards their objectives.[5] Players are allowed to use multiple ways to complete objectives, such as utilizing stealth, melee combat, or using the long-ranged or short-ranged gadgets provided in the game. Between missions, players are free to explore the game's world, and the game will feature outposts that can be taken down by players.[6] Players can also grab enemies at close range with one hand for defense, while using the other hand to shoot.[7]

When not completing missions, players can interact, and build friendly or hostile relationships with other non-playable characters, such as the citizens, officials or the Rebels of the world. These interactions require strategy, as interactions will bring consequences and impact the game's world, and change how players can achieve their objectives.[1] Players can also gain experience points to level up.[5] The playable character can be customized. The loot found on enemies' corpses can be equipped to the Ghost. Weapons and gear can be upgraded as well.[3] According to the creative director of the game, the AI of the game will be unscripted and will have their "own motivations and agendas".[4]

The game will also feature four-player co-operative multiplayer, in which players can be joined by three other players to explore the game's world and to complete campaign's mission.[8][3] The game can also be played solo, in which the player will be accompanied by three AI teammates, which the player can give orders to.[9]

Development

The development of Wildlands began in 2012,[4] and was officially revealed in the end of Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference.[10] Ubisoft also claimed that Wildlands will feature the largest open-world environment the company has ever created.[11] In order to create a realistic Bolivian environment, the developer had to visit Bolivia for two weeks and had to ask for consultation from local Bolivians.[4] A new engine is also being developed for the game.[citation needed] Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is set to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[12] The song in the trailer is Friction by Imagine Dragons.

Reception

The initial reception of the game has been positive, with critics claiming that the open-world design of the game has strayed away from the typical Ubisoft open-world design formula.[13] As the game was revealed at E3 2015, some critics called the announcement one of the most surprising reveals during E3.[14] Wildlands was nominated for IGN's E3 2015 Game of the Show, Best PlayStation 4 Game, Best Xbox One Game and Best PC Game awards, and received one of GameSpot's Best of E3 2015 awards.[15][16] It was also named the best co-operative and the best shooter by Game Informer in their Best of E3 2015 Awards.[17]
