In the days leading up to Gamescom 2019, we are all excited to see more information about the newest Ghost Recon installment.

Multiplayer Reveal

Showcased during the Xbox teaser trailer for the upcoming Gamescom 2019 there will for sure be new information regarding Ghost Recon Breakpoint's Multiplayer. Opposed to the previous Ghost Recon title Wildlands, this time around Breakpoint's campaign can be played solely by yourself with other the need of multiple friends. Although Ubisoft has stated that players will still need a strong internet connection while playing, this is a step in the right direction.

With the looming October 4 release date, what can expect Breakpoint's multiplayer to be? We can expect it will be some version of Co-Op missions which will be dedicated for online play, which allows players to tackle unique missions either with their friends or just by matchmaking. We may also get a look at some brand new multiplayer modes, maybe they will try and replicate a Rainbox Six Seige style of online play or they will simply stick to their roots.
