New Ghost Recon Wildlands Trailer Shows Off Diverse Environments
The last time we saw Ghost Recon Wildlands was at E3 2015, where we got our first look at a new squad of Ghosts against the backdrop of an open-world Bolivia conquered by the Santa Blanca drug cartel. Today, we have a new trailer that not only shows the Ghosts in action, but also gives a good look at the sheer variety of conditions and terrain they’ll be encountering on their mission.
From deserts and mountains to salt flats and jungle, each of these ecosystems presents different challenges that ultimately affect the way you might approach a mission. For example, the thick vegetation of the jungle will conceal your approach to a target, making it possible to sneak up and get the jump on them. Conversely, traversing arid mountains can leave you vulnerable to enemy attack, so an aerial insertion might be the best way to approach the situation. It’s not just Bolivia’s terrain that provokes strategic thinking. Different weather conditions like rain or fog can affect your visibility, potentially making it harder to spot enemies from a distance. In any case, the development team’s priority at Ubisoft Paris has been to make sure that the in-game Bolivia properly reflects the real-world Bolivia’s most extreme conditions.
Obviously, getting around a country with varied terrain requires the right kind of vehicles, and if the trailer is any indication, the Ghosts have no shortage of options for transportation. Buggies (with one member of the squad manning the Gatling gun), dirt bikes, and helicopters are all prevalent in the trailer, but there are some brief shots of Humvees, trucks, an APC, and even a patrol boat.
Ghost Recon Wildlands is currently scheduled for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The Deluxe Edition will feature the Standard Edition of the game along with some exclusive in-game goodies, such as the Huntsman rifle and motorbike, three emblems, three weapon camo skins, three character customization items, and an XP booster. There will also be a physical version of the Deluxe Edition that includes an in-game map of Bolivia and a copy of the original soundtrack. Meanwhile, the Ghost Recon Wildlands Gold Edition includes the Deluxe Edition and the full Season Pass, which includes access to two major expansions and equipment packs, as well as exclusive vehicles and weapons. Finally, the Collector’s Edition contains a Santa Muerte figurine and collectible posters designed by Ken Taylor. All pre-orders will receive a bonus mission called The Peruvian Connection that puts the Ghosts in the mountains of Bolivia to take on not only the Santa Blanca, but also their Peruvian counterparts.
