Ubisoft has announced it will be holding a livestream later this week that will focus on the Ghost Recon franchise. E3 2019 is only a few weeks away, but that isn’t stopping Ubisoft from unveiling an all-new chapter in its tactical shooter series before the big event. According to Eurogamer, this will be an all-new entry in the Ghost Recon series, acting as the first new title since 2017’s hugely successful Wildlands. The stream itself will take place on Thursday, May 9th at 7:30pm BST, and you can watch it through the publisher’s official Twitch and YouTube channels. A few teasers have already begun emerging online ahead of the announcement. Skell Technology, a fictional company, has popped up and teases a more futuristic setting for the iconic franchise. Showcasing solar panels, drone technology and other wild futuristic stuff, if related to Ghost Recon, it definitely has us curious about what big changes are being brought into the fold. Related: PS5 vs Xbox Two Earning 4/5 stars in our review, we praised Ghost Recon Wildlands for its joyous multiplayer and huge sandbox open-world to cause chaos within: “If you’re looking for a really big, extravagant sandbox game that’s great fun solo and hilarious in co-op, don’t be shy. Wildlands isn’t Ghost Recon as we know it, but it’s the wildest party in town.”<doc-sep>Ubisoft have announced that they will be revealing the next instalment of the popular Ghost Recon series this week, with a livestream scheduled for Thursday 9th May at 7:30pm GMT/2:30pm Eastern/11:30am Pacific. The livestream, which will be available on YouTube and Twitch, will lift the lid on the next chapter of the series, which could have something to do with the recent update to Ghost Recon Wildlands, which introduced Jon Bernthal as new character Cole D. Walker. That said, a new website for fictional company Skell Technology, which is also promoting the new Ghost Recon reveal. The website shows footage of some advanced technology, including robotic arms, drones, solar power and more. Another Skell Technology teaser appeared on YouTube late last year, though many perceived it to be a teaser for Watch Dogs 3. With the added focus on technology, Ubisoft could be gearing up to announce a sequel to Ghost Recon: Future Solider, or an Advanced Warfighter 3. That, or perhaps it’s just Wildlands 2. Either way, we won’t have to wait too long to find out.

The title is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 4, and it takes the series to the fictional Pacific island of Auroa. Ubisoft also confirmed that players who pre-order the game will get access to an upcoming beta test. You can read more details in our Ghost Recon: Breakpoint pre-order guide. The original story follows. Ubisoft is preparing for a big Ghost Recon reveal, with a world premiere event being streamed later today, Thursday, May 9. It all begins at 11:30 AM PT, which is just a few minutes away as of this writing; you can find the exact start time zones for your timezone below. You can watch along live in the stream above or at the official Ghost Recon website. It's looking likely this event is meant to reveal a new Ghost Recon game called Breakpoint, which was leaked by a retailer following the event's announcement. If that's accurate, we can expect to get a look at a Wildlands-like co-op action game. We'll know for sure very soon. The event teaser was light on details, but it doesn't appear to be tied to Ghost Recon Wildlands. That game launched in 2017, and it has been supported with a steady stream of downloadable content and live events ever since. In fact, Wildlands just received another dose of content last week. That piece of content centered on Major Cole D. Walker, a character played by Punisher actor Jonathan Bernthal. Ghost Recon World Premiere Start Times 11:30 AM PT 2:30 PM ET 7:30 PM BST 4:30 AM (Friday May 10) AET The timing of this event is conspicuously close to E3, where Ubisoft has a press conference scheduled for Monday, June 10. Scheduling a reveal event now could either set the stage for a more in-depth look at E3, or just give the company more time to focus on other parts of its lineup. Wildlands received a mixed reception at launch but has fostered a devoted following through continued support. Ubisoft has shifted toward long-term support for many of its games, including multiplayer titles like Rainbow Six Siege and For Honor along with single-player games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey. "As only the second open world game in the Clancyverse, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a middlingly safe tactical shooter and a slightly wasted opportunity given the ambitious scope of its seemingly boundless map," Miguel Concepcion wrote in GameSpot's review. "While its main strength is its mission diversity, it doesn’t take long to lose the motivation after reaching El Sueno's doorstep. Even with a foursome of highly trained friends, Wildlands eventually reveals its diminishing returns. The feeling of positive immediacy and dopamine hits begin to wane sooner than you expected from a game with such a large and diverse world."<doc-sep>Ubisoft has big news planned for the Ghost Recon branch of its 20-year-old Tom Clancy’s franchise of video games. The big announcement might have been undercut by a retail leak (from Ubisoft’s own store) yesterday, but there’s still plenty to talk about for the next chapter. The live stream is at 2:30 p.m. EDT, and you can watch all of it live, right here. Yesterday’s leak said the name of the game is Ghost Recon Breakpoint and that the game will launch Oct. 4 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Its antagonist apparently is the character, played by The Punisher’s Jon Bernthal, who was introduced in last week’s free Operation Oracle update to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Leaks suggest he will lead an army of weaponized drones. Wildlands, which launched in 2017, was the last entry in the tactical shooter sub-series, which set its style of action in the open-world staple of Ubisoft for the first time. Wildlands followed the last entry in the Ghost Recon line (2012’s Future Soldier) by almost five years. In that stretch, Tom Clancy fans got one Splinter Cell, two Divisions, and multiplayer hit Rainbow Six Siege.<doc-sep>
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is one of the most popular video game franchises with a whole library of games that allow players to experience adrenaline-fueled combat in a variety of ways. Fortunately for fans of the Ghost Recon franchise, it looks as though Ubisoft is preparing to reveal a brand new entry in the series with a world premiere stream that will be taking place this week, and we have everything you need to know about it covered below. New Ghost Recon Game World Premiere YouTube Stream and Start Time The new Ghost Recon game premiere YouTube live stream is currently scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 9th at the start time of 11:30 AM PST/ 1:30 PM CST/ 2:30 PM EST. You can find an embedded version of the new Ghost Recon game world premiere YouTube live stream that will be going live at its scheduled start time below. While the majority of the video game world is expecting to see Ubisoft reveal the next new game in the franchise on May 9th, there is the possibility that the upcoming world premiere YouTube live stream will consist of a major update for the likes of the latest entry in the series in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands. However, a world premiere lends to the speculation that this announcement will be much more than just a large DLC or update to an already existing installment in the series. Either way, fans will have to wait until the start time of the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon world premiere YouTube live stream on May 9th in order to find confirmation of what Ubisoft has planned for the future of the legendary franchise.
