UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON^® BREAKPOINT BETA, STARTING SEPTEMBER 5

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — June 11, 2019 — Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft^® announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon^® Breakpoint, the latest installment in the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon^® franchise, will hold a beta phase from September 5 to 8. It will be available on PlayStation^®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and Windows PC. Players can sign up now for a chance to participate at ghostrecon.com/beta. Players who pre-order any edition of the game will gain access to the beta.*

In Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon^® Breakpoint, Ghosts confront foes with the same training and experience that they have. The Wolves, a lethal ex–US military unit gone rogue, have seized the archipelago of Auroa, home of tech powerhouse Skell Technology. The Wolves are now armed with powerful killing machines from Skell’s cutting-edge drone factories. Stranded behind enemy lines and hunted down, players will face an intense military experience as they fight to survive and take down the Wolves and their leader, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker.

The game stars critically acclaimed actor Jon Bernthal as Cole D. Walker, the most formidable villain ever in a Ghost Recon game. A former brother-in-arms, Walker took part in several missions alongside the Ghosts in the past. While his ties with his former brothers still exist, he is ready to do whatever it takes to defend Auroa and pursue his own ideals, which players will discover as they confront him in the game.

“The team was thrilled to work with Jon Bernthal to bring Cole D. Walker to life,” said Nouredine Abboud, Executive producer at Ubisoft Paris “Walker is a complex villain, and it was important for us to find someone who could bring the necessary level of depth to the character. Jon did a fantastic job, and we can’t wait for players to see him in action!”

First-Ever Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts Gameplay Unveiled On-Stage at E3 2019

Recalibrate your scope – it’s time to see what’s new in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts!

WARSAW, Poland (June 10, 2019) — Today, CI Games hosted the world-exclusive debut of in-engine gameplay for Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts on-stage as part of IGN’s E3 live show. Showing off an array of brand new features and further innovation on the series’ trademark sniping, CI Games is kicking things into high gear as they set their sights on a launch later this year across PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

As the latest game in the acclaimed tactical shooter series, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts drops players into the middle of the unforgiving Siberian wilderness, forcing them to contend with their toughest challenges yet – both natural and contractual. In addition to getting a first look at its contract-based mission structure, a wide range of locales and the flexibility with which players can approach mission engagements, the debut gameplay shines a spotlight on the brand new Rivals system.

Put simply, players will never truly be alone as they take on contracts, as they encounter rival contract killers. While players will need to carefully plan out and execute the perfect kill and exfiltration from a given encounter, they must also contend with the tension of an AI-controlled taking on the same contract in tandem. Whether this involved removing a rival from the equation or being quick enough to beat them to the punch, players will have more variables to consider than ever before, ensuring that no two missions go down the same, all the while ratcheting up the tension.

From its in-depth single-player campaign and range of multiplayer options, to its return-to-form, intense mission-based contracts system, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts seeks to perfect the feeling of staring down a scope and planning your approach. Get ready to tackle the Siberian wilderness and all the unique environmental obstacles it brings with it, because Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts is taking aim.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts will launch in 2019 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. For more information about the Sniper Ghost Warrior series, head to SGWContracts.com, follow the team on Facebook, or join the conversation on Twitter.
