Ubisoft has outlined its plans to fix its critically panned tactical shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint, pledging bug fixes, systems overhauls, improved in-game economy, and more.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint was not, it’s fair to say, particularly well-received at launch. Eurogamer contributor Vikki Blake called it a “half-baked hotchpotch of magpie’d ideas that neither function properly nor mesh” in her review, and “a broken, swirling vortex of recycled Ubisoft mechanics stamped across a dismal, forgettable world.” No surprise then, that it ultimately earned itself Eurogamer’s dreaded Avoid badge.
In fact, Breakpoint’s critical reception and sales were disastrous enough that they were directly blamed for Ubisoft’s substantially decreased financial targets for the current fiscal year, as announced by the publisher last week.
