Apparently, Ubisoft has a new Ghost Recon game in development — a game that isn't Ghost Recon Frontline. This is according to a report from Kotaku, which cites anonymous sources. Supposedly, this new project is codenamed 'OVER', and it was part of the big Nvidia leak that happened back in September. Up until this point, the leak has been shockingly accurate with regards to a number of recently announced games.
Anyway, it's possible that 'OVER' could launch as early as fiscal year 2023, because it's apparently been in the works for over 12 months. Again, 'OVER' is not Frontline — the "massive" player-versus-player shooter that Ubisoft announced in October. The report says Frontline has actually been "reset" because of the negative feedback Ubisoft received upon its reveal.
And of course, this news follows on from Ubisoft officially dropping support for the latest Ghost Recon title, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. We would assume that 'OVER' is another co-op focused, open world Ghost Recon game in the mould of Breakpoint and its predecessor, Wildlands, but we'll have to wait and see.
Clearly, Ubisoft is in a bit of a pickle with Ghost Recon these days. Breakpoint was met with much criticism from fans when it launched in 2019, but to be fair to the developer, it did rework a lot of the game through free updates — the last of which arrived in late 2021.
What would you want from a new Ghost Recon game? More Wildlands? Or something completely different? Dream of active camo in the comments section below.

You can count on Ubisoft for three things these days:
1. Half-assed live services that won't be supported a year later
2. Bland open world games
3. Shovelware that no one asked for
Why don't Ubisoft just stop and take stock of their IP and really make a considered change to them like they did with Assassin's Creed? It feels like they are on such a production treadmill that they never get a chance to think.
Be more like Wildlands and less like Breakpoint. Also remember to add AI partners from the start this time.
No online only requirement for a game that has you fighting against A.I. controlled bots. PERIOD!
@jFug perfectly said lol
Nobody cares. Just stop giving Ubisoft any money
Ubisoft is the worst. They are chasing that live service money so hard its pathetic. I guarantee that's what this will be as well. Everything they announce just makes me cringe.
Open world, liveservice, several editions on release, monetization, timesavers.
Forgot online only.
This is like the third Ubisoft leak/rumor/whatever that has happened this week and every single title sounds the exact same to me I could not care less for this company except for Prince of Persia
Ubisoft is more profitable than ever. Only people like us complain about their games.
@Danloaded Be more like Ghost Recon and less like both of those.
Good lord its not hard is it? All ubisoft have to do is go back to the original ghost recon games and bring that tactical feeling back..not this wildland,breakpoint cack...they have done the same with the rainbow six games..r63 and black arrow (i think it was called black arrow) were brilliant on the first xbox and then they had to go all vegas and its just been downhill ever since..how hard can it be?
Bin the NFTs please, lads.
@XxEvilAshxX true but its ubisoft so that wont happen
Wild lands was fun and I did enjoy it but what I feel they should do is go back to the style of GRAW that is when the franchise was its best. Instead of giant open outdoor worlds go back to a more urban environment . Have a story line not unlike the movie sicario. I don't know that'd what I'd want , that and go back to the old cover system .
Don’t expect anything interesting at all.
It’ll be:
1. Bland open world design
2. Live service design
3. The faction/setting will be bland and extremely safe and generic so as to 1. Sell more skins/cosmetics and 2. Not to offend.
We’re not ever gonna get a GR game where the team is sent to foreign country that’s at war/in turmoil where the ultimate bad guy isn’t somehow the US’s involvement.
I've finally stopped secretly stalking all of you after several years , just so I could say;
I put 180hrs into Breakpoint solo and loved it. Despite hundreds of hours invested on
the old PS2 versions I preffered the lone wolf
This seemed like an appropriate introduction
Wildlands was actually a bit of a surprise for me. I had never played a Tom Clancy game of any sort before and I found it to be quite fun! Throw in some good humor (likely unintentional) along with that completely out of left field Predator mission and some interesting DLC and I was all-in on it. Then came Breakpoint.........(insert face-palm here)
Ubisoft’s games are all designed by marketing these days.
No innovation, just followers of trends & slapping on a Tom Clancy franchise, no matter how irrelevant it is.
They need to look at what made the original franchises fun & distinguished from the others & build on from that.
These days they begin with microtransactions & try to build around those, recycling the same old generic ***** they’ve been churning out for years
@Northern_munkey do you mean Rogue Spear?
But yeah, Wildlands good but needed some work: better AI (teammates and enemies), perks and upgrade system rework, more variety in missions. But the basis was there. Breakpoint then messed everything up. What an atrocity that was.
@Flurpsel no rogue spear was on the pc..on the first xbox console (the black and green brick) there was tom clancys r63 and then about a year later there was a 2nd one called black arrow i think..it was about 20 years ago lol..
If there’s something lame, and it ain’t no good. Who ya gona call. Tom- Clancy-errr..
@Northern_munkey ah right. Never owned an Xbox so wouldnt know. Did play the heck out of the original RB6s though. Fantastic games.
@Flurpsel they were brilliant..somehow ubisoft forgot how to make really good tactical shooters..shame..
