Suddenly here, then suddenly pushed back
Ubisoftrecently revealedits next game in theGhost Reconfranchise,Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline. The new, multiplayer-focused FPS was set to hold a Closed Test at some point, but now those plans are being pushed back.
On theGhost Recon FrontlineTwitter, the company confirmed that it was postponing the Closed Test. No new date has been provided yet either, and the statement says the team is dedicated to “creating the best experience possible.”

So for cautiousGhost Reconfans who were curious about what a free-to-play, massively multiplayerGhost Reconexperience was going to look like, you’re stuck patiently waiting for the time being.
It’s a strange delay, especially as it seems like time frames were not really established to begin with. And somehow, it’s not the only free-to-play multiplayer shooter Ubisoft has in the works, either.Tom Clancy’s XDefiantwasonly revealed a few months ago,and is also a multiplayer shooter set in the Clancy-verse.
Ubisoft hasalso been under fire this year from its own employees, as they’ve spoken up about a lack of change within the company followingreports of a toxic internal culture last year.
SoGhost Recon Frontlineswill disappear back behind closed doors for a while. I’m curious to see what it emerges as next. It’s another free-to-play shooter in agrowing stable of upcoming shootersfor Ubisoft, and it’s moreGhost Reconfor those who are interested in moreGhost Recon. It also just feels a little like a ship in the night that has passed by.
