Ubisoft Boss Confirms A New Ghost Recon Game Is Coming, Likely To Be Live-Service & An FPS

Ubisoft
head-honcho
Yves
Guillemot
has,
for
the
first
time,
publically
referenced
that
a
new
Ghost
Recon
game
is
in
the
works.

A
new
entry
in
the
series
has
been
rumoured
for
some
time
now.
Reliable
insiders
have
indicated
that
the
new
game
will
be
a
first-person
shooter,
a
massive
change
for
the
series
which
has
always
been
3rd
person.
It’s
currently
expected
to
release
in
late
2026.

Yves
Guillemot
himself
directly
referred
to
the
game
during
the
latest
shareholder
meeting.

However,
there
may
be
some
bad
news
because
the
context
surrounding
Yves
comments
suggest
the
next
Ghost
Recon
game
will
be
of
the
live-service
variety.

A
shareholder
asked
about
Ubisoft’s
history
of
making
live-service
games,
to
which
Guillemot
replied
by
pointing
out
the
success
of
Rainbow
Six:
Siege
(probably
while
mentally
trying
to
block
out
the
existence
of
XDefiant
and

Skull
&
Bones)
and
the
saying
that,
“In
addition
to
the
flagship
game
that
I
just
mentioned,
our
objective
is
to
also
make
strong
progress
in
the
growing
market,
generally
speaking,
by
continuing
to
enhance
our
current
experiences
that
we
offer
–
and
capitalising
on
upcoming
launches,
such
as The
Division and

Ghost
Recon.”

Later
on
in
the
same
meeting,
it
was
seemingly
confirmed
that
the
new
Ghost
Recon
will
also
be
first-person.
Frederick
Douget,
Chief
Corporate
Financial
Officer,
addressed
the
topic
of
how
Tencent’s
investment
money
will
be
used
in

the
new
spinoff
company.
He
explained
it
would
be
used
“used
for
the
development
of
other
major
brand
names”
and
that
“Ghost
Recon
is
just
one
example,
for
our
first-person
shooter
type
games.”
