One of the oldest Ubisoft franchises is Ghost Recon. This franchise is always looking for new ways to reinvent itself for new audiences. Fans and critics did not enjoy the last few installments of the saga because of some contentious choices made regarding the country setting that did not respect the culture’s origins. Apart from being a very respected franchise, it is not so popular among players in general and is mainly for a few fans.

Insider Gaming’s Tom Herdenson said that he has trustworthy sources about the new game from Ubisoft. This title will apparently come out sometime in 2025 or 2026. The setting for this game will be the fictional Naiman War, where several war crimes happen regarding the use of minors and other very shady things to deliver bombs. This new title will be the return of the franchise to a first-person shooter experience like the first games.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
