The first details on Ubisoft’s post-launch plans for Ghost Recon Wildlands are finally public knowledge, courtesy of a new trailer from the publisher. And it turns out that premium content isn’t all the Ghost Recon Wildlands team has planned for the rest of 2017.
Anyone familiar with Ubisoft’s current business model, which is mostly just a staggered release of open-world games and post-launch content, is unlikely to be surprised by the news that Ghost Recon Wildlands is getting a season pass. The relative lack of content it provides -- a mere two expansions -- is bit more shocking. But it’s not altogether unexpected, either. That said, it is nice to know what we can expect to see in Ghost Recon Wildlands after fans go to war with the Santa Blanca Cartel in the coming week.
First up is Narco Road . Here’s how Ubisoft describes it:
The game’s first major expansion will give you the full spectrum of narco life, as you tear through Bolivia using new vehicles in a series of fast-paced missions. Expect to face the most insane adversaries as you infiltrate three smuggling gangs and take out their leaders one by one until you reach the mastermind: El Invisible.
Along with its more eccentric tone, this new adventure will include more than a dozen new missions across four provinces, new vehicles, new weapons skins, and side activities, with everything being entirely playable in solo and in four-player co-op. Season pass owners will be able to access this paid content one week early.
Next we’ll see Fallen Ghosts:
With Fallen Ghosts, get ready for your Spec Ops skills to be put to the test! After your chopper is shot down during an evacuation mission, your squad will be forced to adapt as you are tracked down by Los Extranjeros, an elite group of ruthless mercenaries. Fortunately, new weapons and skills will help you and your friends find the strength to escape! As with Narco Road, season pass owners will be able to access this paid content one week early.
In addition to the Ghost Recon Wildlands Season Pass, Ubisoft also plans to release a free update for the third-person shooter that will introduce a previously unannounced PvP mode. We don’t know much about that particular addition yet. We also can’t, in good faith, even pretend such an addition sounds all that exciting. But those uninterested in fighting competing against other Wildlands players can at least look forward to seasonal events and community challenges scheduled throughout the year.
For more information on the Ghost Recon Wildlands Season Pass, and/or the free PvP update coming to GRW after launch, take a few minutes to watch the game’s latest trailer. Then head down to the comments section and let us know what you’re hoping to see in the Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC when it hits PC and consoles later this year.
Ghost Recon Wildlands is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game debuts March 7.
