The trailer stars The Punisher's John Bernthal as Cole D. Walker, a former Ghost who worked with Nomad. Now, Walker leads the Wolves, the organisation which has taken over Auroa from Skell Technology and shut it off from the world.

The beta will feature two missions taken from the main storyline, side missions to discover more about the island and its inhabitants, eight new Factions missions per day and three Drone Areas to test yourself against some of the game's tougher opponents.

During the beta, players can participate in Man Down, a special in-game charity event. This page tracks the amount of times players revive their teammates, with Ubisoft donating to Child's Play upon reaching certain milestones.

The first year of post-launch content begins on the day of the game’s release with Operation Greenstone, followed by Episode 2 and 3, both of which last four months and bring in the following additional content:

• New Adventures: New story-driven content that expands the main story of the game will be available with each episode.

 

• New End-Game Content: Every Episode will bring new End-Game content. Episode 1 brings the Project Titan Raid. Players will explore an active volcano on a new island in the Auroa archipelago where they need to use all the skills learned on Auroa in intense four-play co-op challenges. The Raid is replayable and adaptable for all play styles.

 

• New Factions Missions: Factions in the game will evolve over time and every month, new narrative Story Faction Missions will be released, bringing context as well as character development. New Faction Missions will be available daily and will provide objectives to support the factions and their narrative arcs.

 

• New Classes: Three new classes will be introduced in Year 1, starting with the Engineer which brings an expertise in hacking.

 

• Live Events: These events will feature VIPs that will help Nomad tackle new, terrible threats.  A new Event will be available with each Year 1 Episode and lasts one month.  

 

• PvP Updates: In addition to the three new classes coming in Year 1, which will be fully playable in PvP, new maps and updates will keep Ghost War players on their toes.

 

• Regular New Content: New content such as new missions, activities and unlockables will be available with each new episode.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint releases 4 October on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, and will launch on Google Stadia in November.
