- The title of the next Ghost Recon game may have leaked - 8 May 2019
It looks like my wildly speculative theory that the upcoming reveal of a new Ghost Recon game will actually lead us to a new Splinter Cell is in trouble. The unveiling is set to take place tomorrow, but a leak captured by redditor jrmywl30 has revealed—unofficially—that it will in fact be called spoilers.   No, it won't be called spoilers, but potential spoilers follow , so consider yourself warned.  The leaked image shows the "Wolves Collector's Edition" of Ghost Recon Breakpoint, a direct sequel to Ghost Recon Wildlands. The CE will apparently include a large figurine of someone who wouldn't be out of place in a near-future Assassin's Creed game. But that, according to further leaks, is not where Breakpoint is headed. Instead, the game will reportedly be set on the fictional island of Aurora—too many hassles dealing with real-world lo…
- Ubisoft teases Ghost Recon 'world premiere' coming later this week - 6 May 2019
Ubisoft has confirmed that there's something new cooking in the world of Ghost Recon , and whatever it is will be revealed later this week. A rumor that began a few months ago picked up steam last week on the "official" Skell Technology website , in a promotion for an event called "Skellcon" that's scheduled to begin at 11:30 am PT/2:30 pm ET on May 9.  Ubisoft nailed that down to something slightly more specific (but still very vague) earlier today on Twitter.  The Skelltech website is "official" because Skell Technology doesn't actually exist: It's a tech company in the Tom Clancy game setting that makes a lot of the high-tech weapons and gear used by Ghost Recon, Fourth Echelon, and Rainbow. It also figures prominently in the new Ghost Recon Wildlands expansion Operation Oracle , in which a guy who really looks (and, I guess, sounds) like Jon Bernthal ho…
- After 16 years of work, 'hardcore realism' mod Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed is finally finished - 17 April 2018
Heroes Unleashed is a mod for the original Ghost Recon that promises to turn it into "the most hardcore military shooter simulation ever made." Developer Apex Mods began working on it in 2002 and now, in 2018, version 1.0 is finally ready to go.  I haven't played the mod myself, so I can't comment on how successful it is in achieving its goals. But Apex Mods certainly sounds committed to the job. "The direction the series took after original Ghost Recon just saddens me, and that goes for all sequels, including the latest," he said in a Mod DB interview.    "What had started out as the epitome of a deeply engrossing gaming experience in realistic squad-based infantry combat, has turned into a shallow slugfest of superficial Hollywood action and eye candy, all for the sake of mass market appeal, all to satisfy casual gamers with the attention span of a fruit fly."…
- Ghost Recon Phantoms is closing its doors - 26 August 2016
Ghost Recon Phantoms , the free-to-play online shooter that debuted in 2012 as Ghost Recon Online , is closing for good on December 1. The decision was made following a slow but steady decline in users over the past couple of years that left its average concurrent player count for the last 30 days at just a little over 800. After more than four years of battles, fights, deaths and a lot of fun, we have made the difficult decision to close Ghost Recon Phantoms. It s a tough day for our studio and indeed the team, some of whom have been working on this project since its inception some 7 years ago, Ubisoft wrote in the closure announcement . GR Phantoms has been a tremendous undertaking and we really relished the opportunity to bring to you a different take on the GR franchise. We are proud of what we have achieved but of course, a game like this would be nothing without its community. We…
- EA withdraws "Ghost" trademark filing - 29 February 2016
Electronic Arts has given up on its attempt to trademark the word ghost, which caused something of an uproar when it came to light in January . EA wanted to trademark the word for its Ghost Games studio, the maker of the new Need for Speed game, while Ubisoft, publisher of the Ghost Recon games, not so spookily opposed the move. But in a filing dated February 24, EA formally withdrew the application, without prejudice, with Opposer's consent. As NeoGAF points out, the withdrawal filing only applies to serial number 86568854 , for Computer game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software. A second application, under serial number 86568852 , for Entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer game; Provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided via the Internet, remains in plac…
- Electronic Arts files for "Ghost" trademark, but Ubisoft says no - 1 February 2016
Ubisoft and Electronic Arts appear to be caught up in a low-level but interesting beef over a trademark filing for the word ghost. Back in March 2015, EA applied to trademark the term for its Ghost Games studio, currently working on Need for Speed , relating to entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer game provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided via the Internet." Ubisoft, naturally, is against the idea. Ubisoft first published opposition to the trademark application in August 2015, but the legal action was only filed on January 29. In it, Ubi's lawyers point out that the publisher has been using the Ghost Recon mark since November 13, 2001, long before Applicant filed the Applications on March 18, 2015 and long before Applicant's November 19, 2013 claimed date of first use. Furthermore, the goods and services covered by the trademark…

- Ubisoft, Ghost Recon Online and gamers' "day parts" - 2 April 2012
Once upon a time gaming required a single disc, or cartridge, or, going back further, a cassette tape, and a gamer. Now, the biggest game companies in the world are dreaming up ways for you to play their biggest franchises wherever you are, on whatever device you might have to hand. These disparate experiences, on a mobile, on a PC, on a home console, are different, but they connect to each other, fuelling each other and the progress you make in one, all encompassing, resource gathering profile. One of the companies at the forefront of this sea change in the way we play games is Ubisoft, which, with the upcoming release of Ghost Recon Online on the PC (and, later this year, on Wii U), hopes to tap into the modern way we play on a much deeper level. To coincide with the launch of the free to play shooter, Ubisoft will release a companion experience, as it calls it, called Ghost Recon Com…
- GRAW lead turns to Kickstarter to fund hardcore tactical shooter - 5 March 2012
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Halo: Reach lead designer Christian Allen has taken to Kickstarter to fund his resurrection of old-school, hardcore tactical shooters. He's after $200,000, and he's got until 1st April to make it. So far he's had 151 backers who've pledged a combined $7448. "For years, fans of tactical shooters have been crying out for someone to make a quality, hardcore, close-quarters combat tactical shooter," wrote Allen on his Kickstarter page . Christian Allen with, appropriately, guns. "But in contrast to these requests, game publishers eschew realism and tactics in exchange for ease of use and 'cinematic' flavour. " don't care about a blockbuster cinematic experience; they can already get that from COD or Uncharted. They want a focused, challenging experience that leaves them satisfied in conquering it." Christian Allen, founder, Serellan "This campaign aims to…
