Ubisoft have announced, to surprised gasps from all corners, that Ghost Recon Wildlands will have post-launch content which includes a season pass.

The pass includes getting two ‘major expansions’ a week early. These are Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts, which respectively involve infiltrating a gang of smugglers and access to new vehicles, and being tracked by ‘ruthless mercenaries’ after your chopper is shot down.

You also get access to the Unidad Conspiracy Missions, where you’ll try and destabilise the bond between the Satan Blanca gang and the government’s Unidad forces, and the Pervuian Connection pack, which is a mission and some gear patches (patches are cosmetic and can be added to your gear, although why, if you’re a covert agent, you’d want a patch signalling affiliation to e.g. your old US military squad is unknown).

As with most season passes you’ll receive equipment packs themed for each of the in-game factions, which contain outfits and special guns, and an exclusive ‘Bolivian Minibus’ vehicle.

Similar to the For Honor season pass, players with the Wildlands pass get a permanent 5% boost to their XP, and a single use XP boost that gives you 50% extra (and 25% for your squadmates) for the limited time of two hours.

The PvP is a free update for all players post-launch, which Ubi says will offer ‘tactical class-based 4×4 team combat’, although there is no more information on that yet. Smells a bit Rainbow Six Siege though, doesn’t it? Anyway, here’s a trailer for all of it.
