Ubisoft announced a new Ghost Recon game in development and launched an Insider Program inviting fans to help shape its future, timed with the series' 25th anniversary celebrations; a large Wildlands update was also revealed, though no gameplay was shown and the direction—open-world versus tighter missions—remains unclear.
Ubisoft announced closed insider playtests for a new Ghost Recon title to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary, while Ghost Recon: Wildlands is getting a sizeable update that adds a Predator-themed mission, new Last Rites content, and a tech overhaul with improved rendering and weather options. As part of the anniversary festivities, Ubisoft is also giving away copies of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier via Ubisoft Connect, redeemable by August 13, though the game’s multiplayer servers were shut down in 2021.
Insider Gaming details cuts and delays for Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Project OVR: proximity mines, a detailed Workbench, and helicopters were cut entirely, while Camp Jammer and hostage-rescue abilities were pushed back. Other features, like NPCs executing hostages, NPCs shooting from moving vehicles, and a new in-game currency Cryptel, remain planned but will be reassessed after Alpha; Military Credits will be used for purchases instead. Ubisoft did not comment.
Ubisoft’s cost-cutting drive, including shuttering Red Storm Entertainment and laying off about 105 staff, is already forcing major titles—like the next Ghost Recon (codename OVR) and the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake—to be scaled back or delayed, with insiders warning that further cuts totaling around €100 million could hollow out pipelines across the publisher’s lineup; Ubisoft had not commented at publication.
Insider Gaming reports Ubisoft has ended development at Red Storm Entertainment, the studio behind Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. At the time of layoffs, Red Storm was reportedly working on at least 10 Ubisoft projects — including Rainbow Six Siege seasonal content, a new Ghost Recon title codenamed Project OVR, Brawlhalla, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Slice & Dice, Splinter Cell, Division 2 audio, Division 3 concepts, Watch Dogs Director’s Cut, and another unannounced project — with over 100 staff let go. The studio is shifting to Snowdrop/IT support, and more cost-cutting moves are anticipated.
Ubisoft has officially confirmed they are developing a new first-person Ghost Recon game, which is expected to be a tactical, realistic military shooter targeting a 2026 release, with Tencent's investment supporting the project.
