Ubisoft has officially confirmed that a brand new first-person Ghost Recon title is currently in development. While rumors have swirled for months, the confirmation came during the company’s July 10th shareholder meeting, with CEO Yves Guillemot and CFO Frederick Duguet both name dropping the franchise during discussions about upcoming launches and investment priorities. Here is all the details that we know so far.
The game, currently operating under the codename Project Over, represents a dramatic shift for the Ghost Recon franchise one that brings the tactical military shooter into first-person perspective for the first time in years. It will focus on squad-based military combat with a tone that is reportedly darker and more grounded than previous titles.
Ubisoft’s shareholder meetings are usually centered around financial strategy, but Guillemot surprised many by stating that the company is preparing for the "upcoming launch" of new games in The Division and Ghost Recon series. This subtle confirmation was followed by Duguet revealing that Tencent’s recent investment in Ubisoft will be used to develop major brand names, again referencing Ghost Recon specifically under the shooter category.
Duguet also emphasized a push toward strengthening Ubisoft’s live service offerings, noting Rainbow Six Siege, The Crew and For Honor as examples. While he didn't confirm if the new Ghost Recon would follow a live service model, the mention suggests that ongoing content may play a role.
Though Ubisoft hasn’t dropped a trailer or gameplay footage yet, multiple reports and leaks have provided early insight into the game:
Title: Project Over (Codename)
Game Perspective: First-person shooter (FPS)
Setting: The fictional Naiman War, a brutal modern conflict in Southeast Asia with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.

Tone & Themes: Dark and gritty, the game will reportedly feature controversial and high-stakes missions. One disturbing mission allegedly involves the squad nearly shooting a man holding a baby, mistaking it for a bomb.
Gameplay Style: The title is being described as mil-sim-inspired, with heavy influences from games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Battlefield, Squad, and Ready or Not. This suggests a highly tactical approach with realistic gunplay and immersive squad mechanics.
Release Window: Tentatively scheduled for a 2025–2026 launch.
The Ghost Recon franchise has gone through numerous identity shifts through out the years, spanning from the hardcore military sim of the early games, to the more open-world and casual action of Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Breakpoint. With Breakpoint’s rocky reception, Ubisoft appears to be returning to a more grounded, squad-focused tactical experience, aligning closer with the franchise’s roots.
The first-person pivot could be seen as Ubisoft’s attempt to capture the audience of hardcore FPS fans, especially those who are looking for something with more strategic depth than traditional military shooters. And if the rumors about the Naiman War storyline are true, this Ghost Recon title could be one of Ubisoft’s most mature and intense narratives to date.
While we’re still waiting on an official trailer or full reveal, Ubisoft’s confirmation of Project Over signals a major evolution for the Ghost Recon series. With a darker tone, first-person gameplay, and potential influences from industry giants like Modern Warfare and Squad, this could be the shakeup fans have been waiting for.
