Ghost Recon: Wildlands is now on its beta stage and Ubisoft is looking for players to test it. Although there is still no exact release date, fans can now begin registering in order to be considered. After submitting the application forms, Ubisoft will get back to selected candidates.
It is worth noting that, as of this writing, the game publisher has not provided any criteria that will form the basis for the selection process.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a new open-world military shooter set in a not-too-distant future. Players will find themselves in the titular wildlands in Bolivia, deep in the enemy territory. The objective is to take down a drug cartel entrenched in a jungle.
Based on the released promotional teaser showing the gameplay, the narrative seems to revolve around the mission called "Operation: Kingslayer," which seeks to take down the so-called Santa Barbara Cartel. After a mission briefing, players must navigate the map on their own through an open-world concept, which allowed them complete autonomy.
"Ghosts will have to cripple the Santa Blanca cartel's operation, breaking alliances between the drug lords and the corrupted government, and saving the Bolivian population from the cruelty of El Sueño, Santa Blanca's ruthless leader," Ubisoft said in a press statement. "To do so, players will have a total freedom of choice to accomplish their missions how they want and watch as the world reacts to their actions."
Battle Modes
The game offers both solo and co-op modes. However, there is still no word if the multiplayer option will be available during the beta testing. Some sources, however, reported that it is quite likely given Ubisoft's insistence that the game should have a co-op feature.
If the beta build will indeed feature the multi-player mode, players can then provide insights as to how the developer can refine team play.
Should the Wildlands beta only offer the single-player feature, players will still be able to access the wide array of resources available to survive without the help of a team. This was demonstrated in a gameplay demo conducted by Dominic Butler, the game's lead designer. The 12-minute play focused on stealth tactics and those who were able to witness the play were duly impressed.
A huge multitude of fans are expected to join the registration. The immense interest being generated by Wildlands is, of course, justified. When it was shown during the E3 2016, it easily became one of the most popular game titles, earning raves from gaming enthusiasts. It has also earned positive press coverage shortly thereafter.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands is now available for preorder at several retail destinations, including Amazon, which specifically identifies a March 7, 2017 release schedule.
