Big news for Ghost Recon fans! Ubisoft’s next mainline Ghost Recon game, known internally as ‘Ovr’, will enter its internal alpha phase this fall. This update provides a sneak peek at the project’s current status and hints at a potential release in late 2026.
According to multiple sources, Ubisoft has scheduled the internal alpha for Fall 2025. The company recently adjusted its timelines for major titles, delaying some key IPs, which makes this milestone a crucial checkpoint. The game is expected to take about a year from internal alpha to final release, so Fall 2026 seems like a reasonable window for launch.
What’s particularly interesting is the direction Ubisoft is taking with this Ghost Recon iteration. The game will lean into a military simulation style, featuring a first-person perspective and focusing on a fictional conflict dubbed the ‘Naiman war’. Some leaked footage (which remains under wraps) reportedly shows gameplay reminiscent of current Warfare or the tactical shooter Ready or Not. That’s a shift from past Ghost Recon entries, and I’m kinda curious how this will feel in action.
Ubisoft hasn’t announced when they’ll officially reveal this title. Still, believe the company may keep things quiet for about a year, possibly saving a major reveal for a future Ubisoft Forward event. Meanwhile, Ubisoft’s plate isn’t empty; they’re also working on a Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake (codenamed ‘Rewind’), which entered internal alpha in June 2025 and is expected before March 2026, plus a Director’s Cut of Avatar under the codename Neptune.
So, what do you think? Are you excited about a more tactical, military-style Ghost Recon? Will the first-person angle work for this franchise? I gotta say, the idea has me intrigued and a little on edge, it could really shake things up, or maybe miss the mark. Either way, I’m watching closely!
