To celebrate the Ghost Recon franchise’s 20th anniversary, Ubisoft hosted a special showcase featuring insights about the series and the reveal of a new title – Ghost Recon Frontline. The Tom Clancy-branded IP first hit the market in November 2001 as Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon, offering a tactical experience that, along with a few of its contemporaries, went on to redefine tactical shooters.

Of course, the property’s successes didn’t end there. Developer Red Storm Entertainment, originally co-founded by Clancy himself, produced three post-launch expansions for the title and later led the charge on the 2004 sequel, Ghost Recon 2. Five other mainline entries have hit store shelves in the 15-plus years since then, in addition to a few handheld spinoffs for systems such as the PSP and Nintendo 3DS. While 2017’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands revitalized the IP, its follow-up, Breakpoint, effectively reversed all previously made progress. Considered amongst 2019’s most disappointing games, Breakpoint’s microtransactions, gameplay design, and lack of Wildlands-created features landed Ubisoft in hot water with Ghost Recon faithful. Lead developer Ubisoft Paris worked to rectify the issues that plagued Breakpoint, yet the title never managed to achieve the redemption arc afforded to its Clancy-branded brethren, Rainbow Six: Siege. Today, is a new day, though.

At the tail end of the presentation, Ubisoft and its Bucharest studio unveiled Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline, a class-based battle royale experience that’s been in the works for the last three years. For the first time in franchise history, more than 100 players will be able to jump into the same match at once. Frontline still offers the tactical gameplay that fans are familiar with, however, promising a “large-scale PvP shooter” that expands upon the franchise’s core tenets. The project remains in the early stages of production, but registration for Closed Testing on PC is already open via Ghost Recon Frontline’s official website. Check out the reveal trailer in the following video:

Ubisoft Bucharest isn’t offering too much in the way of concrete information about the project. Details such as a firm release date and future beta plans, thus, remain under wraps. Since Closed Testing registration is currently live, reason suggests Frontline will receive another blowout of news in the coming months.

This reveal follows months after the unveiling of The Division: Heartland, which also assumes the form of a free-to-play experience. Ghost Recon’s original development studio, Red Storm Entertainment, helms production on Heartland. As such, it seems Ubisoft will have the F2P space covered in the years ahead with its Tom Clancy properties alone.
