Ghost Recon Wildlands - Everything you need to know!
Ghost Recon Wildlands will see you taking back Boliva from the Santa Blanca Cartel and as we countdown the hours until release, you can take a look at our recap of everything you need to know with Wildlands before you jump in to the game later tonight!
What is Ghost Recon Wildlands?
In Ghost Recon Wildlands you will play as a group of highly trained specialists known as "Ghosts" and it'll be your job to take down the Cartel to stop the spread of corruption in Bolivia. The game will offer single player and coop with up to 4 players working together or if you're playing solo then you will get some AI to help you out. As an open world action game you're free to explore massive wide open spaces and tackle objectives as you see fight, maybe you'd prefer a stealth mission and stay away from setting off alarms? You can do just that! Want to go in guns blazing and blow everyone away? That's also an option as the game features an impressive lineup of weapons and gadgets that would make James Bond jealous.
The Wildlands Open World will offer a wide array of varied regions such as tropical plains, snowy mountain regions and deserts for you to explore from either the ground in cars and bikes, or via the air in helicopters or parachuting! As with most open world games it's entirely up to you how you get around the world and what you do.
