Ubisoft announced the launch of Deep State for Ghost Recon Breakpoint. This second episode of content for the game will add in new missions and see the return of Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher to the franchise. You may recall Sam was briefly added for a mission in the original Ghost Recon: Wildlands in 2018.
The return of old man Sam coincides with a fairly substantial update to the core game. The update is available for everyone but the new episode, Deep State, is for those that own the Season Pass. Deep State includes a new adventure and new options on how you go about playing the game. It features new classes, an option to play without gear score, and more. Players will meet up with Sam Fisher to try to see "just how deep this state goes." Ha. Good one.
A free weekend for the game begins on Thursday, March 26. This will give players a taste of what Ubisoft has done to overhaul the game that was severely flawed at release. The Deep State content is out alongside the 2.0 update for Ghost Recon Breakpoint. This update includes a ton of needed changes to the base game along with new features.
This includes what the devs are calling the "Ghost Experience." A separate post about the 2.0 title update can be found here. A sample of the changelog can be found below. Trust me when I say that the changelog is massive and that what I include below is less than the tip of the iceberg.
NEW FEATURES
THE GHOST EXPERIENCE
Year 1 pass content – if you don’t own the Year 1 pass you can join a friend who does own it in co-op to complete the entire adventure. However, only Year 1 pass owners will receive the exclusive adventure rewards.
THE GHOST EXPERIENCE
- Introducing the brand-new Ghost Experience! Pick one of our pre-selected settings or modify parameters to create the unique experience you want. Right when you boot up the game, you will be able to choose from two preset options or build your own combination:
- Regular Experience: Play Ghost Recon Breakpoint the way it was released, with gear level and tiered loot.
- Immersive Experience: A brand-new experience of the game that removes gear level and tiered loot entirely, and offers new tactical options.
- Custom Experience: Choose your own selection of settings to create a personalized fit.
You’ll be able to choose from a variety of community-requested settings, such as stamina management, health regen, new HUD settings, and more!
