To celebrate 25 years of Ghost Recon, we're releasing Last Rites, a free major update for Ghost Recon Wildlands.
This update brings a brand-new narrative mission, long-requested technical improvements, expanded gameplay customization, and the return of one of Wildlands' most iconic missions.
Thank you for being part of the Ghost Recon community. It’s time for us to give something back.
A dangerous new threat has emerged as the leader of a dangerous cult driven by revenge. Your mission will take you through hostile territory as you uncover the truth behind her rise and confront a new threat unlike any you've faced before.
The mission can be launched directly from the main menu and is available without completing the main campaign.
One of the community's most requested improvements is here.
Current-generation players can now experience Ghost Recon Wildlands with 4K resolution, 60 FPS gameplay, improved responsiveness and smoother performance in general.
You have asked for deeper customization of gameplay and immersion for a while now. The new Ghost Parameters, HUD and Difficulty Options, and World and Session Settings allow you to customize realism, challenge, immersion, interface options, gameplay rules and more, giving you greater control.
The Predator mission is back.
Will you become the hunter, or the hunted? The Predator takes no survivors. Head to the Caimanes Province in the Campaign and face your toughest challenge to date once again.
Completing Last Rites will unlock two new Operator Skins and one new Iconic Skin.
We're also adding a selection of new Character Smith items and previously unreleased Character Smith Camos, all unlocked from the get-go.
Mercenaries Mode and Guerrilla Mode rewards have been unlocked for all to enjoy too, alongside some challenges rewards that were no longer obtainable.
All Ghost War Classes are now unlockable for free, with various weapons in PVP now unlocked by default.
Exclusive items like the Santa Blanca Skorpion have been revived as Twitch Drops alongside a few new items. They will be available for free to all players later on.
Finally, items previously locked in Battle Crates and Prestige Crates have been re-bundled either for free or at a reduced price in the in-game store, and many of them have been unlocked by default as well!
For new players, a new Definitive Edition is available, containing the base game and all previous DLC from the Season Pass, Year 2 Pass, Quick Start Pack and the Deluxe Pack.
The Definitive Edition also contains two new cosmetic DLC Packs notably featuring brand-new Operator Skins: the Cold Eye Pack and the Nightfall Protocol Pack.
For long time players, both DLCs are of course available separately on your platform storefront or as part of the new Definitive Edition Upgrade. The Cold Eye Pack and Nightfall Protocol Pack content can also be acquired à la carte or all at once in the in-game store should you prefer.
