New Ghost Recon Reportedly In Development As Ubisoft Pulls Plug On Breakpoint

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is done. Just a few hours ago, Ubisoft announced it was ending support for Breakpoint, a game that just released a little over two years ago but has been a financial failure for the French publisher. The servers will stay online for the time being, but Breakpoint players shouldn't expect any new content--not even those Quartz NFTs.

A new report from Kotaku reveals Ubisoft is working on a new Ghost Recon game, codenamed "OVER," which has been in development for just over a year. The game was actually first revealed as part of the Nvidia GeForce Now leak, and according to sources, it could arrive as early as fiscal year 2023 (which might actually mean early 2024).

The game was put on an indefinite hold shortly after the closed beta test was delayed last October, and now Ubisoft is going back to the drawing board for a major rethink of the whole game.

And what of Quartz, Ubisoft's new NFT initiative that started with a series of very similar yet slightly unique cosmetics in Ghost Recon Breakpoint? That's apparently going dormant as well, although Ubisoft is definitely not done with NFTs.
