New Ghost Recon Game Confirmed by Ubisoft CEO

Ubisoft Confirms New Ghost Recon Game is in Development

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that a new Ghost Recon game is currently in development. The announcement was made by company executives during the annual general meeting, signaling a return to the franchise after the release of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint in 2019.

What We Know So Far

While details remain scarce, the confirmation itself is welcome news for fans of the tactical shooter series. CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned the new Ghost Recon title as part of Ubisoft’s upcoming launches, alongside established franchises like Rainbow Six and The Division.

• No official name or launch window has been announced.
• Ubisoft is aiming to capitalize on the growing market by enhancing current experiences and launching new titles.
• The game is expected to be a major production, aligning with Ubisoft’s strategy of giving its biggest titles the time needed to reach the desired level of quality.

Tencent’s Investment and its Impact

CFO Frederick Duguet also highlighted the Ghost Recon franchise when discussing the allocation of Tencent’s investment in Ubisoft. He indicated that part of the funds would be directed towards developing “other major brand names,” with Ghost Recon being specifically mentioned as an example of a first-person shooter-type game.

This investment suggests a significant commitment to the franchise’s future, potentially allowing for a more ambitious and polished gaming experience.

Ubisoft’s Broader Strategy: Quality Over Speed

Ubisoft’s recent approach emphasizes quality and polish, even if it means delaying releases. This strategy was highlighted by Guillemot during Ubisoft’s FY 2025 earnings call, where he confirmed the company was delaying its “biggest productions” to allow for additional development time.

The positive reception of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which was delayed twice for further polish, served as a key example of this approach’s potential benefits.

Other Projects in the Pipeline

Ubisoft is currently working on several other high-profile projects, including:

• The next mainline single-player Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe
• A multiplayer Assassin’s Creed title, Assassin’s Creed: Codename Invictus
• The mobile title Assassin’s Creed Jade
• Remakes of older Assassin’s Creed games, including a rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

Major Franchises and Remakes

In addition to these Assassin’s Creed projects, Ubisoft is also developing new entries in major franchises like Far Cry and Rainbow Six. The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is also still in development, targeting a 2026 release.

Challenges and Future Outlook

Despite these promising projects, Ubisoft has faced challenges, including a decline in share price following the underperformance of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws. Guillemot attributed part of the underperformance of Star Wars Outlaws to the weakened Star Wars brand.

Restructuring and Investment

In response to these challenges, Ubisoft has formed a new subsidiary dedicated to its core IPs of Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, backed by a significant investment from Tencent. This move signals a renewed focus on these key franchises and a commitment to their long-term success.

Shareholder Concerns

The annual general meeting also saw heated discussions regarding Ubisoft’s declining share price. Shareholders expressed concerns about the company’s performance and future direction. However, Ubisoft executives reiterated their commitment to delivering high-quality games and creating value for shareholders.

Production Costs

During the Q&A session, Guillemot confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows cost over EUR 100 million (roughly Rs. 1,000 crore) to make, highlighting the significant investment required to produce AAA titles.
