Ubisoft has announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands’ open beta test will take place later this month on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The PvP mode will be called Ghost War mode, and focuses on two teams fighting over territory after [spoilers] the fall of the Santa Blanca Cartel.
The teams in Ghost War will be able to choose from six specialised classes such as assault, scout, sniper, and tank. Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses, so players can choose a class suitable to their playstyle, and that complements the rest of their team. Teams will do battle across five unique open-world maps, based on jungles, mountainous regions and forests. Ubisoft says it’s imperative that each team responds to the environment around them by planning their attacks accordingly, as the weather and time-of-day continually change.
Ghost War will include new mechanics, such as sound markers that help with locating enemies’ positions, and suppressing fire, which can affect vision whilst under heavy fire. These mechanics have been implemented to put a focus on teamwork and communication.
The Ghost Recon Wildlands Ghost War PvP open beta will take place between September 21-25 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. There’ll be a preload for the beta starting on September 19.
