- The upcoming Ghost Recon title reportedly survived the recent Ubisoft purge.
- The publisher cancelled many games recently, including the Prince of Persia remake.
- The game will be more grounded, focusing on a squad-based military tactical shooter approach.
Ubisoft has gone through a major and controversial transformation, seeing the cancellation of six games and delaying many others in the process. The company’s stocks fell over 30% in a single day, and over 2000 developers are expected to lose jobs in the future.
Despite all this, it appears that the upcoming first-person Ghost Recon game has survived the wave of project terminations so far. This tidbit comes from a trusted Ubisoft insider, who reports that the project will feature a total overhaul of the gameplay.
Why it matters: The next Ghost Recon game is a do-or-die moment regarding the franchise’s future and for Ubisoft as a whole. The FPS surviving the purge means that the executives are at least satisfied with the game’s current quality.
The insider xj0nathan on Twitter mentions that the game is set in Vietnam. Previous reports suggested that Ubisoft is making it more grounded and realistic, like Ready or Not. It is also heavily inspired by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Called Project Over, the next Ghost Recon is a squad-based military tactical shooter that unfolds during the Naiman War. We can expect to see dark and controversial missions because it’s allegedly quite grim.
It was previously slated for a fall 2026 release, but the current delays may have pushed the game to the next fiscal year instead.
Regardless, multiple other games will continue development despite the recent internal changes, which include the Far Cry multiplayer offshoot Project Maverick. Although Ubisoft is still figuring out its gameplay loop since early 2025.
Ubisoft’s yet another live-service attempt, Project Scout, will also continue to be in the works.
The most surprising of all survivors is Beyond Good and Evil 2, which has been in development for nearly two decades, even after consuming a $500 million budget. The project survived because it matches Ubisoft’s restructured open-world formula.
