Apparently targeting a 2025 / 2026 release, the next game in Ubisoft's Ghost Recon series has been unveiled by Insider Gaming. The outlet cites anonymous sources, but its track record on all things Ubisoft is practically peerless, so we're sure there's a large degree of accuracy here.
Off the back of 2019's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint — which was a divisive instalment, to say the least — it sounds like the franchise is attempting to revisit its roots. 'Project Over' is described as a first-person tactical shooter with squad-based gameplay. It also boasts 'milsim' (military simulator) elements, suggesting that it's going for a grounded, realistic feel.
Supposedly, the story will see your Ghost squad infiltrate a warzone in order to track down a traitor. According to Insider Gaming's report, «the game appears to take heavy inspiration from the Modern Warfare series, with some potential dark or controversial missions and segments.» There's also talk of the title being a «significant» upgrade in terms of visuals.
Given the rumoured release window, we could see this new Ghost Recon game being officially revealed later this year — but it all depends on how far along the project actually is.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
I feel that third-person shooters make for far better stealth games, but if they're going to make a whole game based on MW2019's Clean House mission then I get why they'd go for first-person. This game just begs the question of where the hell Sam Fischer is...
Inspired by modern warfare? So not very realistic at all then

Ahead of (or maybe alongside, we're not sure) the release of its second expansion, Final Fantasy 16 will be getting a free update that includes some rather positive-sounding changes. Patch 1.30 was detailed during the developer's PAX East panel, so we've gone ahead and sorted the additions and improvements as bullet points:
Roguelike rhythm first-person shooter ROBOBEAT will launch for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on May 16, publisher Kwalee and developer Inzanity announced.
Slightly later than usual, the Last Chance to Play section of PS Plus has updated with the list of PS5, PS4 games that will be removed from the service next month. Compared to those that departed earlier this week, we've got a longer list this time but the titles aren't quite as important. There are 11 games leaving PS Plus Extra on 16th April 2024, and they are:
Studio Media Molecule has been winding down its live development and support for Dreams for a while now, as it shifts towards work on its next big game. The next step in this process is the stoppage of the game's live curation, which has been manually handled by a dedicated team since the game's launch.
Out later this week in Japan, publisher Red Art Games has announced that it’s bringing MACROSS Shooting Insight to PS5 and PS4 in North America and Europe later this year, marking the first time a tie-in based on the 80s anime franchise has officially launched in the West. The game, a multi-dimensional shooter, has been developed by Kaminari Games, who’s perhaps best known for the brilliant Raiden V: Director’s Cut.
Leaked details about the next Ghost Recon game have surfaced on the internet. Up until this point, fans of the Ghost Recon franchise may have been wondering when or if the next entry in the tactical shooter franchise would arrive, and thankfully, those fans seem to be in luck.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint was a bit of a dumpster fire, and Ghost Recon Frontline got cancelled in response to widespread backlash against its core premise, so the last few years have definitely been rough for the Ghost Recon franchise. Even so, though a new game hasn’t yet been officially announced, it seems safe to assume, given the magnitude of the franchise, that Ubisoft does have plans for a new game in the series. Now, a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed light on alleged details about that next instalment.
RPG Maker is a franchise that's largely steered clear of PlayStation consoles, but that trend is set to change with the release of RPG Maker WITH. Published by NIS America, it's headed to PC and Switch at some point in the autumn / fall, while PS5 and PS4 versions are locked in for 2025.
How's that for a shadow drop? Survival-shooter series STALKER has just arrived on PS4 (and PS5, via backwards compatibility). All three titles, which released for PC back in 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively, are available to buy through the PS Store right now. You can either pick up STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy to snag all three in one bundle (priced at £35.99 / $39.99), or you can purchase each game individually (priced at £15.99 / $19.99 a pop).
A number of PS5-bound titles will be hitting the news cycle this week thanks to a freshly announced Xbox showcase. The 'Xbox Partner Preview' takes place on the 6th March (that's this Wednesday!), and across its 30-minute runtime, you can expect to see gameplay from the likes of The First Berserker: Khazan, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Tales of Kenzera: ZAU.
