Enter: Ghost Recon Wildlands

We're about a month away from the arrival of the new Ghost Recon game. Wildlands will offer a different take on the Ghost Recon series, putting players into an open world where they'll be battling the notorious cartel operating in Bolivia. Ubisoft has been working hard at making the vast space a fun and exciting playground, and as they describe it "The possibilities are kind of endless". Here are your toys, here's the sandbox, play the way you want to. Here is the latest information about the arrival of Ghost ReconWildlands.

 

I got a chance to play a few missions of Wildlands, and the experience highlights team cooperation and in order to get most out of the game you'll have to be very vocal. Your team's missions is to take down the Santa Barbara drug cartel, which is running a fictionalized South American country with an itchy trigger and a tight fist. As you may assume, dismantling this cartel will take a lot of time and different kinds of missions. There will be enemy outposts that need liberation, key targets to interrogate or assassinate, and various other ways to interrupt the group's doings.

Player choice has become an assay mark of open-world games nowadays, and Wildlands is no exception to that. For instance, you'll be able to side with local rebels to help out in fights against more powerful factions in the Santa Blanca cartel. Or you can simply try and instigate in-fighting in the cartel itself, by manipulating its members and using misinformation. Or you can create distractions in one area to help you sneak and complete objectives with greater ease. All of these choices will have an impact on the region, so think carefully about when you want to play it stealthy and when to cause mayhem.

This installment brings the fighting adventures to South America. The varied terrains of Bolivia will be the backdrop for Wildlands. There will be hundreds of local landmarks, villages and points of interest to explore. There's a day and night cycle and a full weather system, which will impact how your squad chooses to tackle each mission. The natural landscapes of Bolivia mean many different looks to the environment, and Ubisoft is promising everything from salt flats to highlands to canyons and jungles. In terms of terrain and locations, this game is keeping things fresh.

Most of the last changes in the game have been all about customizing your Ghosts. Appearances can be altered to include bandanas or bears. Just about every detail of your gear and appearance can be tweaked, so you can create the alter ego of your dreams and role-play yourself. And of course, weapon load outs can also be created to your taste.
