Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has finally confirmed what fans have long suspected — a brand-new Ghost Recon game is officially in the works. The announcement came during Ubisoft’s most recent shareholder meeting, marking the first public acknowledgement of the next installment in the long-running tactical shooter series since 2019’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.
While details are still being kept mostly under wraps, there are already a few major shakeups that fans should brace for. According to multiple insider reports and hints from Ubisoft’s leadership, the new game will take the first-person shooter (FPS) route — a major departure from the traditionally third-person perspective that has defined the series since its inception. While Breakpoint did include an optional first-person aiming mode, this upcoming title appears to go full FPS.
The shift in perspective isn’t the only big change. Guillemot’s comments suggest the game will also be a live-service title, a direction Ubisoft has been pushing hard in recent years with mixed results. During the meeting, he referred to the success of Rainbow Six: Siege as an example of Ubisoft’s live-service strategy and lumped Ghost Recon in with other major upcoming projects like The Division. This points toward a clear push to evolve Ghost Recon into a more dynamic, continually-updated experience — much like Siege or The Division 2.
Ubisoft’s Chief Financial Officer, Frederick Duguet, further confirmed the direction by revealing that part of Tencent’s recent investment into Ubisoft’s new development subsidiary will go toward first-person shooters — citing Ghost Recon specifically as one of the projects being backed. That extra funding could be key to ensuring a smoother launch than the troubled Breakpoint, or the ultimately cancelled Ghost Recon: Frontline.
As of now, no official title or gameplay footage has been released, but insiders expect a late 2026 launch window. This gives Ubisoft ample time to refine its vision — and perhaps rebuild trust with fans burned by past missteps.
All in all, the next Ghost Recon looks like it’s aiming to modernize the franchise with a bold new approach. Whether longtime fans will embrace the FPS shift and live-service model remains to be seen, but Ubisoft is clearly banking on the series having a fresh future.
