What is Ghost Recon Wildlands about? Where is it set?

Ghost Recon Wildlands invites players to immerse themselves into the extraordinary underground reality of the drug trafficking world. The game is inspired by the beauty and
brutal reality of South America, notably Bolivia.

The Santa Blanca drug Cartel, the most vicious and well-funded criminal force the world has ever seen, has turned the country into a Narcostate: civilians are suffering from fear, injustice and violence. In Wildlands, the cartel is on track to become a major underworld power and a new global threat for mankind.

The Ghosts, a four-man US Elite Special Operations team, are sent behind enemy lines to create chaos and break alliance between the Santa Blanca & the corrupted government.

What can players expect from Ghost Recon Wildlands?

Ghost Recon Wildlands is the very first military shooter set in a massive, dangerous, and responsive open world that players can play entirely solo or in four-player co-op.

From the beginning of the project, our focus was to put players at the frontline of one of our most famous shooter franchises. The first challenge for the team was to evolve the DNA of the brand – strategy, realism, team play and intensive action – to a massive, living and breathing environment.

Players will be immersed in Bolivian culture and will cross paths with inhabitants reacting to their own agendas and to the game’s day-night cycle and weather system. They will be able to explore hundreds of villages, landmarks and legends populating this country with the many vehicles available, both on and off-road, in the air, on land, and at sea.

Our ambition with Ghost Recon Wildlands is to give players total freedom of action and choice throughout their adventure. Players will be able to manipulate factions in the game, using an extensive set of tools. They will need to anticipate the consequences to their actions and to make difficult but critical choices.

More than anything, players will need to be creative in their approach. In Wildlands, the world is fully responsive and will evolve differently depending on each of your choices. Unexpected opportunities and threats could arise from any situation.

What are you showing at E3?

The E3 demo is played by four live players in co-operation and takes you on a mission to extract a rogue cartel member, in order to gather Intel on its hierarchy. The demo focuses on the massiveness of the world in Wildlands and on the freedom of choice.

We are also showcasing an Announcement Trailer that emphasizes the freedom of choice and the cartel fantasy within our game. The gameplay shown in this trailer is Pre-Alpha
gameplay footage.

What engine and technology does the game utilize?

Ghost Recon Wildlands is developed on a new proprietary engine.

When is the release date and on which platforms will the game be available?

We will have information to share at a later date, however the game is being developed for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

How long has the project been in development?

We have started working on the game 3 years ago with the ambition to create the very first military shooter in a massive, dangerous & responsive Open World that you can play entirely in 4 Player Co-Op or solo.
