Ubisoft Announces Ghost Recon Wildlands at E3 2015

At the end of Ubisoft's press conference at E3 2015, the publisher announced a brand new open-world game that featured four-player co-op. The game was presented as a third-person shooter set in the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise, titled Wildlands.

Ghost Recon Wildlands allows players to team up to take on a wide variety of missions set throughout the globe and approach each of these missions in a multitude of ways. Players can be sneaky and assassinate their targets from a distance, set up an ambush and go in all guns blazing, or even choose stealth with up-close-and-personal kills. 

The game is a big departure from previous entries in the Ghost Recon series, which were mainly linear mission-based. 

Here's what's in store for Ghost Recon Wildlands:

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands gives players unprecedented freedom. Players can engage in the entire game solo or team up with up to three friends in co-op to roam freely in this gigantic playground. Players will have complete flexibility in how they tackle the game’s story, missions and objectives, as well as their approach, whether it’s stealth, distraction, tactical or frontal assault, or a combination of styles. As a member of the Ghosts, players face countless difficult decisions, and those choices have tangible – and often unexpected – consequences for enemies and allies alike creating dynamic and emergent gameplay throughout.

And the story:

Bolivia has become the largest cocaine producer in the world. The vicious Santa Blanca drug cartel has turned the country into a narco-state, leading to fear, injustice, and violence. The Ghosts, a legendary US Elite Special Operations team, is sent behind enemy lines to wreak havoc and break alliances between the cartel and the corrupted government.

The publisher has not announced a release date or platforms for the game.
