Predator Stalks Ghost Recon: Wildlands Starting Tomorrow

Limited event planned

by Robert Ramsey Wed 13th Dec 2017

The good news: Predator really is coming to Ghost Recon: Wildlands. The bad news: you can't actually play as one of the deadly alien hunters. Boo!

Starting tomorrow (the 14th December), players will be able to take on a special challenge in which they're tasked with hunting the Predator. Ubisoft calls it "the most difficult fight of all Ghost Recon: Wildlands". You can tackle it solo or team up to take it down. The event will last until "early January".

Perhaps the best part of this is that if you manage to survive, you'll unlock exclusive items, such as the Predator's mask. And yes, it gives you Predator vision. Sweet.

On top of that, the title's recently introduced Ghost Wars player-versus-player mode will nab a new playable class based on the character Dutch from the original movie. Er, fair enough.

Will you be diving back into Wildlands for any of this? Search out some heat signatures in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and 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, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Sigh, now I really want a game that you play as Predator. Would be cool if you play as the character in Wildlands.
I didn't like the game, so I will probably skip this.

GR: W is not my sort of game, and thus I’ve never played it, but this is an awesome sounding event to get into. Hope those that play it enjoy the hunt!

Stick with Mortal Kombat XL, at least you play as the Predator in that and it's probably more fan servicey.

You can tell a new Predator film is on the way next year!

Seemed more like the Predator is stalking the player, which is just as cool in my book. I didn't much think you could play AS the Predator I'm a HUGE Predator fan so just like that, this game is on my radar. I've heard good things about it, maybe I should give it a go regardless of how the Predator thing works out. I can vouch for the fact Predator is great in Mortal Kombat XL, and there's also some pretty good PC AVSP games with a solid Predator campaign. My favorite is the 2010 AVSP game.

Predator: Concrete Jungle on PS2 is also an option if you're willing to overlook some glaring flaws.

Does anyone know if this Predator mode will be available in single player? It sounds like it's limited to online, but the article mentions taking it on solo. I'm also curious if this is a limited run or will it be something you can repeat?

Me and a mate enjoyed co-op on this, but haven't played it for a while. I was considering selling it, as the PvP holds no real interest for me. But I think we'll give it another spin for this.

@PS_Nation AVP 2000 Classic is where it's at for Predator gameplay.

But I know what you mean, a dedicated "good" Predator game would be pretty sweet. Concrete Jungle wasn't the best. It was like SW: Bounty Hunter, but a Predator.
