Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter set in a diverse and hostile open world entirely playable solo or in up to four-player co-op. Players will discover Auroa, a mysterious island where the most technically advanced facilities meet wild and untamed nature. Home to drone creators, tech giant Skell Technology, Auroa has fallen into the wrong hands and all contact has been lost. 

The Wolves, a lethal ex–US Military unit of former Ghosts gone rogue, have taken over the island. Led by Nomad’s ex-brother-in-arms, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, they have reprogrammed Skell’s drones into killing machines and are ready to use them, no matter the casualties. Nomad and the Ghosts are sent in on a recon mission, but their helicopters are shot down. Injured, without support, and hunted down, players will live an intense military experience as they fight to survive, take down the Wolves and regain control of Auroa.

Steep slopes, accumulating injuries, and fatigue are new challenges for players to tackle as they test their survival skills in the varied terrains of Auroa. To overcome adversity, players will enjoy total freedom to accomplish their missions and have plenty of tactical options and tools at their disposal, including a set of new military features. They will be able to carry enemies and teammates’ bodies, blend into their environment with prone camo and set up camp with teammates in the bivouac to manage equipment, change classes, and fine-tune their strategies.

They will also be able to choose among thousands of customization combinations to create their perfect Ghost, and keep their character and progression through the game in both the main campaign and Player-versus-player (PvP), available at launch.

We already had a rough overview of the Year 1 post-launch content a few weeks ago, but now we have even more details

With the addition of adventures, raids, new classes, special events, and more, there will be plenty of new opportunities to enjoy Auroa throughout our first year of support and beyond.

Year 1 will contain three episodes – Episode 1, Operation Greenstone, will begin right at launch.

AI Teammates

We’re still working on the AI Teammate implementation, and we’ll have more to share with you later in Year 1. Keep an eye out for updates along the way!

Episode 1: Operation Greenstone (October 4, 2019–January 2020)

Raid

Project Titan is the first raid to come to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, bringing you to a volcanic island to test your skills against lethal opponents. The raids are a four-player co-op experience that is entirely free to play for all players, with exclusive rewards to obtain. New rules will heat things up each week as these fresh elements keep things interesting between bosses.

Live Event

Live Events will feature special guests who will help Nomad tackle new terrible threats. A new Live Event will be available with each Year 1 Episode, and each will last one month.

Our first event features none other than the Terminator. A new narrative arc focuses on the T-800, who comes from the future to threaten Auroa and its inhabitants.

Completing these Live Event missions will provide you with new weapons, attachments, vehicles, and customization items.

If you miss a Live Event, you will still be able to play the main event story missions after it has passed; however, you will not be able to get the event-specific rewards – so make sure you check it out while it’s live!

Class

The Engineer is the first class arriving in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint post-launch. The Engineer will be free for all users, but Year 1 Pass owners will get an instant unlock of the class, no Skill Points needed, as well as one-week early access.

Faction Missions

Each faction in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will evolve, starting at launch. Two narrative missions will begin every three weeks, allowing players to follow an evolving story.

Additionally, you will have access to 14 daily missions that pose new obstacles in the open world, bringing fresh tactical challenges every day.

PvP

Episode 1 will give consistent multiplayer updates to the intense action of Ghost War. These updates will include balancing and new maps.

Episode 2 (February 2020–May 2020)

New Adventure – Deep State

A new adventure called Deep State provides more than five hours of additional gameplay that expands the original story. The first hour or so is free for all players, and Year 1 Pass owners receive the entire adventure.

If you do not own the Year 1 Pass, you can join a friend who does own it in co-op to complete the entire mission. However, only Year 1 Pass owners will receive the exclusive adventure rewards.

Project Titan

Updates to our first raid, Project Titan, will be coming. We’ll have more information on the specifics closer to the release date.

Episode 2 will continue to add Ghost War maps and updates to keep things fresh! Starting in Episode 2, we’ll have special limited-time events where you can try out a new Ghost War mode or format.

Episode 3 (June 2020–September 2020 )

New Adventure – Transcendence

Episode 3 will bring another adventure with more than five hours of gameplay and will introduce a new faction. The first hour is free for all players, and Year 1 Pass owners receive the entire adventure. As with the Episode 2 adventure, you are welcome to join a friend who owns the adventure in co-op to complete the entire mission; however, only those with the Year 1 Pass will get exclusive adventure rewards.

PURCHASABLE CONTENT

We would like to dive into some details about purchasable in-game content options and what you can expect from this system in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

All weapons and attachments can be obtained by simply playing the game. Exclusive weapon blueprints will be cosmetic only.

YEAR 1 PASS

All Gold and Ultimate Editions of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will give you access to the Year 1 Pass, which can also be purchased individually. The Year 1 Pass will provide the following:

Currency

The currency system will be different from Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Wildlands. Our primary goal is to reward player engagement in the long term, right from launch.

All standard weapons and attachments can be obtained by playing the game! You also have the ability to gain instant access through the store. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will have two forms of currency:

• Skell Credits – Earned by playing the game or purchased with Ghost Coins. You will earn plenty of Skell Credits through in-game activities like looting, completing missions, playing Ghost War matches, etc.
• Ghost Coins – Purchasable with real money only. Used only to unlock a few exclusive cosmetic items and time savers, such as crafting materials, from the store.

Just by playing you will get:

• Skell Credits
• Weapon Blueprints
• Attachments
• Weapons and Gear
• Customization Options
• Vehicles
• Resources

You can use Skell Credits for:

• Crafting specific weapons
• Unlocking specific attachments
• Purchasing specific weapons and gear
• Unlocking specific customization items
• Unlocking specific vehicles

You can use Ghost Coins for:

• Exchanging for more Skell Credits
• Unlocking weapon blueprints automatically (you can find them in-game for free)
• Unlocking weapon attachments automatically (you can find them in-game for free)
• Exclusive customization options
• Exclusive vehicles
• Various time savers
• Rewards Booster

Item Packs

The majority of items in packs can be purchased individually if desired.

Time Savers

Crafting materials, to craft medicinal items or explosives, will also be available for purchase.

Skell Credit packs can be bought for purchasing items in the shop.

Battle Rewards Boosters will double your past and future Battle Points in Battle Rewards. This means you will be able to unlock rewards faster. The Battle Rewards Booster will start being available two weeks after launch and is purchasable with Ghost Coins.

BATTLE REWARDS

New to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the introduction of the Battle Rewards system.

• Players progress in Battle Rewards by earning Battle Points, which are obtained by completing faction missions or Ghost War matches.
• The number of Battle Points a player can earn in a day is capped.
• Each tier of Battle Rewards will provide access to exclusive rewards.
• Each Episode will have two separate phases (called Acts) of Battle Rewards. Each Act will offer a fresh set of 50 items to unlock.

Each Act will have milestone items that all players will get on that tier. The items granted in-between will be randomly selected from the pool of 50, minus the ones you have already received and the milestone items. You will not get duplicates and are guaranteed to get all 50 items if you reach each tier before the Act is completed.

Two weeks after launch you will be able to purchase a Rewards Booster using Ghost Coins for that Act if you want to gain the rewards more quickly. However, engaged players will always be able to unlock all of the tiers for free by earning enough Battle Points.

At the launch of Google Stadia, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will support the Stream Connect feature, which allows players to display the game of up to three Co-Op teammates on their screen.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will include a robust post-launch content support plan, with regular updates after launch. New story arcs, classes and features will be continuously added, and for the first time in a Ghost Recon game, a new type of endgame content: raids.

Additionally, Ubisoft announced the Gold, Ultimate and Wolves Collector’s Edition (Final content and release dates subject to change. Some features may not be available at launch. Content may be available for purchase and/or as giveaway(s) separately at Ubisoft’s sole discretion at any time) of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint as well as the standalone Ubicollectibles® figurine of Nomad:

• The Gold Edition will include the base game and the Year 1 Pass.
• The Ultimate Edition will include the base game, the Year 1 Pass and the Ultimate Pack.
• The Wolves Collector Edition will include the base game, the Year 1 Pass, the Ultimate Pack, a Ubicollectibles® high-end figurine of Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, a Steelbook, exclusive lithographs, Walker’s dog tag, a waterproof map of Auroa as well as the soundtrack.
• The standalone Ubicollectibles figurine of Nomad is available for preorder on the Ubisoft store.

Fans who purchase the Gold, Ultimate, or Collector’s Edition will have access to the game up to three days early. Fans who pre-order (available at participating retailers) Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will receive access to the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint Beta closer to launch, as well as the Sentinel Corp. pack which includes exclusive gear.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be available October 4 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, as well the Google Stadia gaming platform.
