I like extraction modes and battle royale and team shoots and assault rifles, and I know this because I've already played several games which contain those things. It's an uninspiring name for what looks, at this stage, like an uninspiring game. The chances of me keeping the names Wildlands, Breakpoint, Heartland and Frontline straight in my head are basically nil. I spent several minutes during this reveal thinking Ubisoft had already announced a game called Frontline, but it turns out I was thinking of the similarly free-to-play Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland. I was unusually hard on Ghost Recon Frontline when it was first announced, as I had a mini crisis while trying to write about the announcement of yet another battle royale and yet another Tom Clancy game: A proper Splinter Cell remake was announced in December of last year. Nothing from either of those VR games was shown. Splinter Cell VR was announced in 2020 as an Oculus exclusive alongside Assassin's Creed VR. That beta was cancelled 24 hours before it was due to start, with the game's Twitter account posting a message to say that they were "dedicated to creating the best experience possible." It was eight days from Frontline being announced to never being heard from again. Ghost Recon Frontline was announced in October last year and was meant to enter a closed beta shortly thereafter.
GHOST RECON FRONTLINE CROSSPLAY PC
Ubisoft didn't share a release date for Ghost Recon Frontline, but it said it would hold a closed PC test starting on October 14th that people in select countries across Europe can sign up to take part in by visiting the game's website.Ubisoft announced today during an investor earnings call that they have cancelled development of planned battle royale game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Frontline, as well as Splinter Cell VR and two unannounced games.ĭuring an investor call, chief financial officer Frederick Duguet said the cancellations were the result of the "uncertain economic environment," and that it would allow Ubisoft to "even more focus on our biggest development opportunities."

Ubisoft said it plans to continue to support Breakpoint while working on Frontline. It then went on to spend months patching Breakpoint, but the game never quite recovered from the reputation it earned at launch. Thanks to its unfinished state, the game performed so poorly in its first week of availability that the company delayed all of its biggest 2020 releases. The franchise’s most recent outing, 2019’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, was, to put it mildly, a disastrous release for Ubisoft. The playspace also won't get smaller as a match progresses. Other teams can ambush you during this crucial moment and steal the data you fought so hard to obtain. The twist is that you later need to extract that information by calling in an airlift. In Frontline's signature Expedition mode, you and your team will need to find three pieces of intel scattered across an island map. However, where Ubisoft's Bucharest studio hopes to differentiate the game is with a tweak to the battle royale formula.

GHOST RECON FRONTLINE CROSSPLAY SERIES
If the Call of Duty: Warzone comparisons weren't inevitable already, Frontline moves the series away from its traditional third-person perspective to a first-person one.
