TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON® WILDLANDS FREE UPDATE “NEW ASSIGNMENT” AVAILABLE TODAY
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands Concludes Its First Year of Post-Launch
Content with an Extensive PvP-Focused Update
Ubisoft has announced that New Assignment, the new major free update for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Wildlands, is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC today.
New Assignment continues to expand the Ghost War experience by adding
three new classes and wraps up the total of six additional
classes planned to be introduced within the span of the Ghost War
roadmap. Available in all PvP modes, the new classes introduced in New
Assignment are:
-
The Trapper:
an
expert shooter equipped with a semi-automatic sniper rifle with the
ability to mark downed enemies and deploy remote KO-gas traps to stun
and damage enemies.
-
The Guerilla:
a support-class specialized in diversion tactics and equipped with a smoke-grenade launcher drone.
-
The Stalker: a
sharpshooter specialized in silently dispatching her enemies thanks to her special abilities.
With 18 diverse classes to choose from, players will have more tactical options and ways to approach situations
on the Ghost War battlefield than ever.
New Assignment will also introduce two new maps, “Refinery”
and “Cliffside,” available for the Extraction mode
exclusively, as well as a series of updates addressing player feedback
for both PvP and PvE modes. A new map-voting tool will notably allow players to vote for one of three possible Ghost
War maps, each from a different game mode, at the start of every new PvP Quickplay and Ranked match.
The
new maps and gameplay updates will be available free and simultaneously
to all players. Season Pass and
Ghost War Pass owners will immediately unlock the three new classes
with an exclusive seven-day early access, while other players will be
able to unlock classes with Prestige credits earned through progression
or to purchase them via the in-game store. These
classes round off the PvP content included in the Season Pass and Ghost
War Pass offers.

About Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
Launched
in 2001 with critical acclaim from fans of the Tom Clancy’s world, the
Ghost Recon franchise has since convinced 25 million players thanks to
breakthrough
releases and has become the best-selling Tom Clancy’s brand on the last
generation of consoles and PC. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
brings the franchise to the next level with an episode designed from the
ground up for a new generation, featuring a massive
and visually stunning open world, playable for the first time online in
four-player co-op.
Tom
Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a work of fiction. Like similar Tom
Clancy’s games from Ubisoft, the game takes place in a modern universe
inspired by
reality, but the characters, locations and stories are created
solely for entertainment purposes. One of the reasons Bolivia was chosen
as the background of this game was due to its magnificent landscapes
and rich culture. While the game’s premise imagines
a different reality than the one that exists in Bolivia today, we do
hope that the in-game world comes close to representing the country’s
beautiful topography, and that players enjoy exploring the diverse and
open landscapes it moved us to create. Any resemblance
to actual events or any real persons, living or dead, is purely
coincidental.
