Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Breakpoint is an online tactical shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris
and published by Ubisoft. The game was released worldwide on October 4th 2019,
for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will be released in November
2019 for the Google Stadia.
The game is the eleventh installment in the Tom
Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise and is a narrative sequel to the 2017 video game
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands.
The game is set in an
open world environment called Aurora, a fictional island in the Pacific Ocean.
The player takes on the role of Lieutenant Colonel Anthony "Nomad"
Perryman, a U.S. Special Operation Forces service member sent to the island to
investigate a series of disturbances involving Skell Technology, a military
contractor based on Aurora. Upon release, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint
received mixed reviews from critics and underperformed commercially.
The game is set in the
year 2023, four years after the events of Wildlands. The story takes place on
Aurora, an island in the South Pacific owned by billionaire entrepreneur and
philanthropist Jace Skell, who is the founder of Skell Technology, a blue
chip company producing drones for commercial applications, but the company has
also found success as a military contractor developing cutting-edge equipment
for the United States government.
Skell purchased Aurora with a vision of
turning it into a hub for the design, research, development and production of
artificial intelligence and drone technology, which he dubs "World
2.0". The island is made up of a series of individual biomes, including
marine estuaries and wetlands, fjords, arboreal forests, snow-capped mountains, and active volcanoes.
