Ubisoft has announced Ghost Recon Frontline, a new liberal-to-fun, seasonally-updated tactical military triggerman that leans heavily on the Battle Royale genre.

Led by Ubisoft Bucharest, the massive PvP shoot 'em up has been in development for the live on three years, and is a standalone game within the Obsess Recon universe. It's set to feature on PS5, Xbox Series X, PC and previous gen consoles, and will comprise two game modes at launching – 'Expedition', where busy 102 players in teams of three are deployed into its multi-biome, 4x4km Drakemoor Island map; and 'Control', a 9v9 respawn point-typewrite affaire which is shorter and less hectic.

Expedition is Frontline's flagship mode, says the developer, and sees players covertly hunt intel on Drakemoor before vocation for extraction in bouts that last around 20 proceedings. At the point of extraction, however, the rest of the represent is alerted to the departing squad's presence, which prompts a two-minute-long, backs-to-the-fence in firefight that sounds both elating and exhausting. This, au fond, is Frontline's version of a diminishing circle of death.

Through all of this, Ubisoft says strategy and tactics are key, as players apportion familiar lay to rest-team roles, such as medics and scouts, in edict to gain the upper-hand in stealth and in battle. Here's some of the above in motion, too As air drops, and what looks alike defence-building on the fly:

Fancy some of that? Ghost Recon Frontline is without a provisionary launch date for at once, only a European closed PC test event is regular on Th, October 14, with other platforms and regions to be announced down the line.

Given it's non-slave-to-play, Ubisoft tells us to bear hardheaded cosmetic items twisting forward, merely stresses Shade Recon Frontline is not, and never will be, pay-to-advance.
