Ubisoft recently announced that it was ending active development on Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, although servers for both Breakpoint and its predecessor, Wildlands, will still be up and running. The 2019 game received several major updates from Ubisoft, including a Sam Fisher expansion, but the game recently sparked controversy when Ubisoft announced that its NFT platform, Quartz, would be integrated into the game.
After the negative reaction to the announcement, Ubisoft kind of abandoned the integration of NFT into the game, but the franchise’s problems did not end there. Ubisoft recently announced Ghost Recon: Frontline, a free-to-play battle royale that was received quite negatively by the community at large.
Now, according to Kotaku, Ubisoft may be working on a new Ghost Recon game that isn’t Frontline. The new game is reportedly codenamed “OVER”and was mentioned in the famous Nvidia GFN leaks earlier last year.
Ubisoft may be working on a new Ghost Recon game
The Ghost Recon franchise has its roots in the gaming industry and was responsible for some of the most innovative games of the 2000s, featuring tactical combat elements not found in most games of that era.
Released in 2017, Ghost Recon: Wildlands marked the return of the franchise after having done so since Future Soldier in 2012. The game received mixed reviews, but the game is good enough to warrant a sequel.
Breakpoint 2019 got off to a bad start as the game was missing many of the features that made Wildlands fun and had a major bug problem. The game has gotten better over time, but it hasn’t reached the heights players might have hoped for, and even with its expansions, Breakpoint has never been the talk of the town.
Ubisoft seems to be heading back to the drawing board with the franchise at the time, as it was clear the community wasn’t exactly thrilled with the free-to-play, battle royale direction the franchise was taking. It will be interesting to see what Ubisoft has in store and what they plan to do with Quartz in the future.
