Information

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (previously known as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 4) is a video game published by Ubisoft and due for release in early 2011. Excluding expansions, it is the fifth installment in the Ghost Recon series, and was announced to be in development by Ubisoft on January 22, 2009. The game will be a futuristic take on the Ghost Recon series.

Initially, the title was revealed to be Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Predator by an OFLC release. However in December 2009, "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier" was trademarked by Ubisoft, raising speculation that this could be the name for the upcoming Ghost Recon 4. This was subsequently confirmed by an official announcement.

While the release of Future Soldier was targeted for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, Ubisoft later announced that the release date would be pushed back until the 2010-2011 fiscal year to "strengthen" its video game line-up. In May 2010, Ubisoft announced that the release of Future Soldier would be delayed until the "March quarter of 2011".

Plot

The story has yet to be revealed, but it is known from a live action trailer that a major part of the game will take place in Russia and Norway against a fictional Ultranationalist force.

Gameplay

The teaser trailer shows possible new elements to gameplay, including invisibility, miniature combat drones used by both Ghost Recon and enemy forces, and what appears to be shoulder-mounted rocket launchers on the Ghost's armor. All owners of Xbox 360's Splinter Cell: Conviction will have access to a multiplayer beta of the game in Summer 2010.

Film

A 20 minute live-action short film is in production as a prequel to Future Soldier. It will be directed by Francois Alaux and Herve de Crecy. And written by Tim Sexton. The budget for the film is 8-10 million dollars.[1]
