After a few weeks of speculation and some weird teasers from Ubisoft (which we won't go into here because frankly they'd take too long to explain), the publisher has confirmed that there will be a Ghost Recon-based announcement later this week. We can only apologise to hopeful Splinter Cell fans who thought that Sam Fisher might have been involved.
Ubisoft's billing the announcement as a "world premiere", and it's happening on the 9th May at 11:30 Pacific/19:30 UK time. Although nothing specific has been said, we're going to go ahead and assume that it's a new Ghost Recon game. Now we just have to wonder whether it's a sequel to Ghost Recon: Wildlands, or whether it's something entirely new.
It's worth noting that Wildlands launched back in March 2017, so the timing seems reasonable if it is indeed getting a sequel. What's more, Wildlands has been a big success for Ubisoft. Despite lukewarm reviews, the open world squad-based stealth-shooter sold incredibly well, and the developer's done a great job of supporting it over the last two years or so.
Oh, and if this does turn out to be a new game, you can bet your house on it also showing up at Ubisoft's E3 press conference next month.

Wildlands 2 reveal trailer, then a full gameplay demo at E3. Or is that too predictable?
Wildlands was a very good game. Single player and co OP was great. A sequel seems very likely.
I enjoyed wildlands inmensely, but was not able to finish the game.
Same as Oddysey, I wish their games were a tad smaller. Some Ubisoft's titles demands too much of their players.
I think its probably not game announcement.
I would much rather have another Future Soldier with mission based structure. I loved that game so much. Wildlands is kinda meh in my opinion.
@Giygas_95 i guess I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I much rather a linear ghost recon like future soldier(my fav gr game btw) than wildlands.
@Brasilkilla Nope, you're not the only one. Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell had a great thing going with Future Soldier and Blacklist. I just hope a future Splinter Cell doesn't go the open world route. Future Soldier is by far my favorite as well. Loved the mix of stealth and shootouts, and the optical camo was fun to use.
Splinter cell? Coming heard it here first Sam fisher 🅸🆂 back

@Giygas_95 the way ubi been making open world games lately, a new splinter cell will probably most likely be open world as well. And yess blacklist was pretty good too
i was bored of wildlands before the end of the demo, would much rather have something more akin to GR: future soldier. too much of the dna from every other ubisoft open world game stripped wildlands of its identity, imo.
I hope it is another Ghost Recon open worlder. I loved Wildlands. I don't care if it's the same old Ubi formula, the game was great in my opinion.
@fabisputza00 I agree. I really liked GR Wildlands but never got around to finishing it, but am hoping to go back to it when there’s a lull in game releases. Saying that, I did finish both AC Origins & Odyssey.
@Cutmastavictory When I first played the demo for Wildlands, myself and online friends, all hated it. I wasn't going to buy it. Then I bought the release version in a sale. I played through the whole campaign, with a mate in coop, and I really enjoyed it. So I definitely agree with you, that it's a good game. I'm currently re-playing Future Soldier on PC, and enjoying that too (despite the magic Frodo invisibility cloaks), however, my mind still drifts back to Wildlands and doing stuff like this...
If it's Wildlands 2, I sincerely hope they've had someone in to code AI for your squadmates. I loved the first game, but watching your highly trained operators walk into the side of a moving train is only funny the first couple of times!
Give us a new Rayman already ya hobo's
