New Ghost Recon game confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X

Ubisoft has officially confirmed a new entry in the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series, set to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The announcement was made through a brief teaser, marking the first new mainline Ghost Recon game since 2019's Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

The game will be available on next-generation consoles, though no release date or title has been revealed yet. The teaser, shared on social media, shows a futuristic soldier with the Ghost Recon logo, suggesting a possible shift in setting or timeline.

This matters because the Ghost Recon franchise has been a staple of tactical shooters for over two decades, and the last entry, Breakpoint, received mixed reviews due to its always-online requirement and technical issues. A new game could revitalize the series and attract both longtime fans and new players.

Ubisoft has not disclosed specific numbers or a release window, but the teaser hints at a reveal during an upcoming event, possibly E3 or Ubisoft Forward. The company has been focusing on live-service games, so the new Ghost Recon may incorporate similar elements.

Background: The series began in 2001 and has seen numerous entries, including Ghost Recon Wildlands (2017), which was well-received. Breakpoint, released in 2019, attempted to blend open-world exploration with survival mechanics but struggled with player reception.

Next steps: Ubisoft is expected to share more details in the coming months, including a full reveal and beta opportunities. The game's success could influence the direction of the franchise and Ubisoft's broader strategy for its military shooter IPs.
