Ubisoft Announces Ghost Recon World Premiere Event

Update 5/6: Ubisoft officially announced that a Ghost Recon world premiere event is coming on May 9 at 11:30 a.m. PT.

Revealed through Twitter, the announcement reads "Calling all Ghosts. Tune into the #GhostRecon World Premiere event May 9 at 11:30 am PT.” Ubisoft did not specifically relate this announcement to Wildlands, though considering last week’s tease involving Skell Technology, it’s still likely related to the open world title. Fans can watch the live announcement through an Ubisoft YouTube livestream.

The original story follows.

Ubisoft is teasing a Ghost Recon announcement by unveiling “Skellcon,” a fictional convention related to Skell Technology, a corporation heavily associated with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands.

The official Skell Technology website is now promoting Skellcon, advertising this May 9, 2019 event at 11:30 a.m. PT. What this announcement will be is still unknown, but many fans, including those on Reddit, are hoping for something related to Ghost Recon Wildlands 2. The fictional Skell is known for creating technology for both military and civilian uses, notably drone and camouflage tech.

Though a sequel to Wildlands is certainly possible, Ubisoft announced on Tuesday that the original Wildlands, which was released just over two years ago, would receive new DLC involving a character played by Punisher actor Jon Bernthal. This DLC sees his character Cole Walker taking on Operation Oracle, a mission to rescue a Skell Tech engineer taken hostage by Unidad. This free update was released yesterday, starting an extended free weekend of Wildlands for PC, PS4 and Xbox One through May 5.

In our review of Wildlands, we called the game “Good” saying it "has issues with repetition, but its co-op antics make it an entertaining military shooter."
