Ghost Recon is in a 25th anniversary push, with the free Last Rites update and a heavily discounted sale running for Wildlands and Breakpoint, plus a free giveaway of Future Soldier on Ubisoft Connect. A CPU performance issue in Wildlands remains under investigation by Ubisoft with no confirmed fix.
The series turned 25, and Ubisoft marked it by updating and discounting old games rather than announcing a new one. The clearest current artifact is Last Rites, a free update for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands released August 6 and 7, 2026, which adds a standalone mission in cult-controlled territory led by La Llorona, brings 4K and 60fps support to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, returns the Predator mission The Jungle Moved, and stops selling Battle Crates and Prestige Crates, moving their items into Collections.
Around that update Ubisoft ran discounts through August 17: Wildlands at 95 percent off (330 yen from 6,600 yen) on Steam and the Ubisoft Store, the Definitive Edition at 75 percent off, Breakpoint at 95 percent off, and a six-game bundle including the original 2001 title at 90 percent off. A limited free play period for Wildlands and Breakpoint ran through August 10, and the PC version of Ghost Recon Future Soldier was free on Ubisoft Connect from August 7 until August 13 at 17:00. Registration opened for an insider program for the next Ghost Recon title.
The anniversary push also surfaced a lingering problem. Ubisoft confirmed that Wildlands suffers performance issues on 12th-generation Intel CPUs and later, caused by Hyper-Threading effects. The company is investigating and will provide further information, but has not confirmed a fix; the issue has been known since around 2025 and persists after the August 7 update.
One thread connects the series to current development elsewhere: Daniel George Cercheaza, co-founder of Eldrem Studios and a former Ubisoft Bucharest developer, worked on Ghost Recon Wildlands and Assassin's Creed titles. His 10-person studio announced the action RPG Eldrem: Kingdoms, funded through Kickstarter, with PC early access planned for 2027.

New customization options include Ghost Parameters, HUD and Difficulty Options, and World and Session Settings, letting players adjust enemy firepower, vehicle durability, reload animations, and mission time of day. The popular Predator mission "The Jungle Moved" returns in the Caimanes province, rewarding players with the Predator Bio Mask, and the Predator Pack is back in the store. Battle Crates and Prestige Crates are no longer sold, with their items now available as Collections. A Definitive Edition bundles the base game, both season passes, and all DLC for new players.
