Rumour: Next Ghost Recon Game Is a Realistic, Tactical First-Person Shooter | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Apparently targeting a 2025 / 2026 release, the next game in Ubisoft's Ghost Recon series has been unveiled by Insider Gaming. The outlet cites anonymous sources, but its track record on all things Ubisoft is practically peerless, so we're sure there's a large degree of accuracy here.

Off the back of 2019's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint — which was a divisive instalment, to say the least — it sounds like the franchise is attempting to revisit its roots. 'Project Over' is described as a first-person tactical shooter with squad-based gameplay. It also boasts 'milsim' (military simulator) elements, suggesting that it's going for a grounded, realistic feel.

Supposedly, the story will see your Ghost squad infiltrate a warzone in order to track down a traitor. According to Insider Gaming's report, «the game appears to take heavy inspiration from the Modern Warfare series, with some potential dark or controversial missions and segments.» There's also talk of the title being a «significant» upgrade in terms of visuals.

Given the rumoured release window, we could see this new Ghost Recon game being officially revealed later this year — but it all depends on how far along the project actually is.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I feel that third-person shooters make for far better stealth games, but if they're going to make a whole game based on MW2019's Clean House mission then I get why they'd go for first-person. This game just begs the question of where the hell Sam Fischer is...

Inspired by modern warfare? So not very realistic at all then
