Ubisoft ends development on Ghost Recon Breakpoint

While The Division 2 is getting new content this year, Ubisoft's other on-going service game, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, won't be getting the same treatment. Just a few months on from the game's NFT experiment, development is coming to an end. 

This week, Ubisoft revealed that Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be receiving no further updates. The game received 11 content updates over a two-year span, but the game became very controversial in late 2021, after Ubisoft used the game to launch its own NFT platform. The first Ubisoft NFTs, known as Digits, were earnable after reaching certain ‘hours played' milestones in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

In a statement to GI.biz, Ubisoft confirmed that while Breakpoint development is ending, the publisher will be looking to integrate NFTs with future games. With that in mind, expect Ubisoft to begin pushing ‘Quartz' and ‘Digits' again later this year.

While Ghost Recon Breakpoint won't be getting any further content updates, Ubisoft does have plans to continue the IP. A new game in the style of Wildlands and Breakpoint has not been announced, but a free-to-play multiplayer shooter, Ghost Recon Frontline, is in development.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
