We learnt some things about Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint from Game Director Bogdan Bridinel previously, and now we can experience the game for ourselves when the beta begins!
The closed beta will be from 5 – 8 September. PC and Xbox users can preload the game now, while PS4 will need to wait till noon. Those who pre-ordered the game, participants of the Online Technical Tests and randomly selected registrants from the beta page will be able to access the closed beta.
Closed beta players will be able to participate in Man Down, a special in-game charity event aimed at raising money for NGO Child’s Play. Team up in co-op and revive and protect teammates. The more who play, the more Ubisoft will donate!
Access several provinces and missions to explore solo or up to four player co-op. Play through two Operation Greenstone missions from the main storyline, Auroa Missions that has side missions that lets you learn more about the island and its inhabitants, and Faction Missions that includes eight new missions a day.
Test your strength in Drone Areas. Face off the small, swarming, flying Murmur drones. Aamons are mid-sized land drones. Watch out for the huge, heavily armoured Behemoths too, with the firepower to match their size.
Ahead of Breakpoint‘s release, we also have information on the game’s Post-Launch plans for Year 1. It will kick off with Operation Greenstone, followed by Episode 2 and 3 every 4 months.
