Ghost Recon is returning to first-person, confirms Ubisoft

The Ghost Recon series has been one of Ubisoft’s long standing franchises, with the first game launching all the way back in 2001. While the series remained a big part of the publisher’s offerings, 2019’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint received a rather mixed reception. Interestingly, it seems Ubisoft is going back to the drawing board – having announced that a first-person Ghost Recon game is in the works.

As reported by Gamefile and shared by Insider-Gaming, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot recently confirmed to shareholders that a new Ghost Recon game is in the works, saying:

“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 capitalizing on upcoming launches, such as The Division and Ghost Recon.”

Elaborating on this a bit further, Guillemot revealed that the aforementioned Ghost Recon title will be a “first-person-shooter-type” game.

For context, many of the earlier Ghost Recon titles were indeed first-person shooters. That said, the success of 2017’s 3rd-person ‘Ghost Recon Wildlands’ saw Ubisoft commit further to such a perspective with 2019’s Breakpoint.

Given the fact that the Ghost Recon series appears to be returning to its roots somewhat, it will be interesting to see what the next entry winds up looking and playing like – and whether fans will embrace this return.
