Ghost Recon Wildlands gets new story mission and tech upgrade for 25th-year franchise anniversary

Ubisoft celebrated the 25th anniversary of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon with a free title update to Ghost Recon Wildlands, the return of the fan-favorite Predator event and more. Ghost Recon Wildlands: Last Rites is now available for free on Ubisoft+, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One and Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store and Steam. Developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, Last Rites features a brand-new standalone mission set in a darker, more oppressive Bolivia. The Ghosts enter a region controlled by Los Penitentes, a fanatical cult united by faith, sacrifice, and violent justice. Players must hunt down La Llorona, the cult leader, by navigating dangerous swamps and dense forests where visibility is low and danger is lurking. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GsrXNVz2iU4?feature=oembed The update modernizes the Wildlands experience by adding 60 FPS gameplay and visual upgrades to current-gen consoles and PC. Enjoy smoother combat, improved distance rendering, enhanced lighting and shadows, and a sharper image targeting 4K resolution. In addition, players can customize and define their own Ghost Recon experience using extensive gameplay, difficulty, environment, and UI parameters. They can also adjust enemy behavior, damage values, weapon restrictions, friendly fire, weather, and HUD elements to tailor realism, challenge, and immersion. In addition, players can relive the iconic Predator event and take on a deadly extraterrestrial threat, now back once again. “Ghost Recon wouldn’t be where it is today without the passion, dedication, and feedback of its community over the past 25 years,” said Olivier Leonardi, creative director, in a statement. “With Last Rites, we wanted to create an experience that honors that legacy—something that feels authentic to longtime Ghosts, celebrates what makes this franchise special, and reflects our appreciation for the players who have been with us every step of the way.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/DpbGYFTV5hY?feature=oembed To celebrate the anniversary, players can also jump into three of the franchise’s most iconic titles at no cost. Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be free to play from August 6–10, giving players the chance to experience the ultimate tactical military shooter. In addition, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be free to redeem on PC through Ubisoft Connect from August 6–13, where players can step into the role of Kozak and Team Hunter in a vision of the future of war. In September, the Ghost Recon Breakpoint 25 th Anniversary Bundle will also be available and will include free items such as the M4A1 Tactical Brown, Wolf Enhanced Helmet, and Opheis Mk.II Hunter.
