Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint: Episode 2 out now

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint: Episode 2 has been released today for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Google Stadia. The Start of Episode 2 coincides with the release of the Title Update 2.0 which includes the new Ghost Experience and several other major additions.

Breakpoint has received a fair amount of criticism since it launched and Ubisoft are hoping that this new update will reverse the fortunes of the game.

Watch the Breakpoint Episode 2 trailer below:

Update 2.0 is the biggest update yet for Breakpoint and will include:

• A new story Adventure: Tied to Episode 2 including eight narrative missions where players will team up with Sam Fisher, the renowned character from Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. Together, they uncover a plot to develop mind-controlled military drones, and they will have to stop its development on Auroa. The Adventure will introduce new stealth-focused gameplay elements and feature cinematics with the voice of Michael Ironside. The full Adventure will be available to all Year One Pass owners or as a standalone purchase. All players will have access to the first mission and its 2 rewards for free and will be able to join co-op parties with friends owning the Adventure. In all, ten new exclusive Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell-themed mission rewards will be available for players to earn, provided they own the Year One Pass or Adventure from mission 2 onwards.
