Ubisoft Is Pulling Support For Ghost Recon: Breakpoint

thegamer.com:

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint's support is ending after its final November update, Operation Motherland. The game launched in 2019 and was the first in Ubisoft's NFT push last year, but it's coming to a close after its three-year stint.

"The last four months marked the release of our final piece of content: the brand new Operation Motherland mode, tons of new items including the 20th anniversary iconic outfits and Quartz items for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint," the announcement read. "We will continue to maintain our servers for both Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Breakpoint, and we truly hope you will continue to enjoy the game and have fun playing in solo or co-op with your friends."

While Breakpoint is coming to a close, Ubisoft isn't done with the Ghost Recon series. It has a battle royale shooter in the works called Frontline which will take players to Drakemoor Island in a search for intel. You have to find that intel, extract with it, all while fending off other teams - a different spin on battle royale that's more Hunt: Showdown than Fortnite. It's unclear when it'll release, though.

Frontline was set to have a closed test, but that was delayed amidst the announcement's reception. It received 4,000 likes to a staggering 17,000 dislikes. The closed test has since been delayed indefinitely, and it's unclear when you can expect to dive in and give it a try.

There was also a lot of internal pushback to Ubisoft's blockchain plans, utilising cryptocurrency and NFTs to sell microtransactions in its games. We saw this with Breakpoint's Quartz line, a new set of in-game NFTs that players could buy and sell on the market, but hardly anyone bought
