Ubisoft Announces Free-to-Play Ghost Recon Online

Posted May 24, 2011 by Ben Strauss

While it has been a few years since the last console developed Ghost Recon title has come out, fans of the series can now move to the PC for a free-to-play Ghost Recon Online

Ghost Recon Online takes the best attributes of the Ghost Recon game franchise and brings them online, making the experience of being a Ghost accessible to millions of new players and fans,” said Hugues Ricour, senior producer at Ubisoft. “This game was designed from the start to be a free-to-play experience. Our development teams are dedicated to making Ghost Recon Online a truly unique, top-quality online title.”

"For Ubisoft, delivering games as a service means offering fans the opportunity to stay connected to their favorite gaming worlds, to participate in fan-based communities and play with millions of peers from around the world.” 

“The online market is an exciting new frontier for video games and for gamers,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft.

“With Ghost Recon Online, and other major upcoming projects, Ubisoft is creating online experiences that allow our fans to stay connected to their favorite brands and to continually receive new content and gameplay. This direct link with our fans will allow us to create new and ever better experiences for them.” 

The next console title, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, is expected to have a showing at E3 this year, with the release happening sometime in Q4 2011.
