With ‘Ghost Recon Frontline’, Ubisoft tries to take advantage of the Battle Royale mode (again)

Remember Hyper-Scape? No? Well, apparently neither does Ubisoft. The publisher is working on a new battle royale that will take players into the world of Tom Clancy. On Tuesday, the company announced Phantom reconnaissance front line. Like many of its contemporaries, the free title will pit you and two other teammates against more than a hundred other players.

If the Call of Duty: War Zone comparisons were not already inevitable, First line changes the series from its traditional third-person perspective to a first-person perspective. However, where Ubisoft’s Bucharest studio hopes to differentiate the game is with an adjustment to the battle royale formula. In Front lines Signature Expedition mode, you and your team will need to find three pieces of information scattered around a map of the island. The twist is that you later have to extract this information by calling an airlift. Other teams can ambush you during this crucial moment and steal the data you fought so hard for. The playing space will also not decrease as the match progresses.

The franchise’s most recent release, 2019 , was, to say the least, a disastrous release for Ubisoft. Thanks to its unfinished state, the game performed so poorly in its first week of availability that the company has all of its larger 2020 releases. It then spent months fixing it. Breakpoint, but the game never quite recovered from the reputation it gained at launch. Ubisoft said it plans to continue supporting Breakpoint working on First line.

Ubisoft has not shared a release date for Ghost Recon Frontline, but he said he will hold a closed PC test starting October 14 that people from certain countries in Europe can register to participate in by visiting the game’s website.
