It shouldn't be a surprise to see Ghost Recon get a free-to-play spinoff, which aligns perfectly with Ubisoft's recent statements about shifting to a hybrid approach to games involving 'AAA' and free-to-play models. "We will be working hard to adjust the game accordingly throughout the several live phases planned before launch, as we want to deliver the most polished and entertaining experience possible for players.” “We can’t wait to see players’ reactions during the first test of Ghost Recon Frontline," said Bogdan Bridinel, Creative Director at Ubisoft Bucharest in a prepared statement. After collecting intel, players will need to head to the drop zone for an extraction, while evading or defeating other squads who will be alerted of their presence. Given that it's a Ubisoft game, we don't expect the map to be covered by most players any time soon, for better or worse. That's already a differentiating factor from other major battle royale games, which gives a renewed focus on exploration. In Expedition, players (in squads of three) will drop on the open world map of Drakemoor island, working together to complete objectives across the map with no converging circle. Ubisoft said that "additional modes will also be available at launch." The game's battle royale mode is called 'Expedition', although no information about any other game modes were announced during the reveal. Players will be able to change their class during battle, making the game what Ubisoft calls "unique and highly tactical." Time will tell whether that will be the case or if it will be pure chaos, although in a battle royale sandbox either can be fun. Frontline offers players three unique classes to choose from, as each team is made up of three players. Fortnite made $9 billion for Epic Games in 20, and Activision reported huge revenue growth earlier this year thanks to Call of Duty: Warzone.Of course, being a Ghost Recon game, classes play a big role. This isn’t the first time the company has made a battle royale title either, as it released Hyper Scape just last year.Īs for why Ubisoft would want to make a battle royale game in spite of the player disdain, the explanation might lay in the fact that the leading battle royale titles on the market make a lot of money for their creators. Earlier this year, the publisher revealed Tom Clancy’s XDefiant, a 6v6 shooter that bore a resemblance to Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. A small but vocal group of fans are most disappointed that Ubisoft appears to be making every kind of Tom Clancy game - indeed, seems to be inventing new kinds of Tom Clancy games - except Splinter Cell, despite the number of fans asking for a new one.įans also noted in the YouTube comments that this isn’t the first time Ubisoft has chased a gaming trend with the Tom Clancy franchise. On the Ghost Recon subreddit, users are asserting that this title will kill all future interest in the series and that Ubisoft has spectacularly failed to meet the community’s demand. If you go to sites like Reddit, the general attitude is still unhappy. MetaBeat will bring together metaverse thought leaders to give guidance on how metaverse technology will transform the way all industries communicate and do business on October 3-4 in San Francisco, CA.
