Ubisoft said that it would be bringing player-versus-player modes to Ghost Recon: Wildlands ages ago, and now the publisher finally looks ready to deliver on its promise. The open world co-op stealth-shooter remains the best-selling release of 2017 thus far, so the ongoing support is hardly surprising. That said, it's nice to see the developer putting so much effort into it. Wildlands is already a huge game, and we doubt anyone is going to say no to yet more content, especially when it's arriving free of charge.
Anyway, Ubisoft will be putting the title's PvP component to the test later this summer, as it's announced that an open beta is incoming. The competitive multiplayer mode, titled 'Ghost War', will allow for two teams of four to battle it out in a sort of open world deathmatch. Sounds like it could be fun.
Once testing is out of the way, Ghost War will launch in full as part of a free update later this year. In the meantime, we'll let you know when Ubisoft attaches a date to the aforementioned open beta.

Assuming the beta will only be for owners of the actual game itself?
Also biggest seller of 2017? That doesn't sound right!
@daveofduncan Yep, it's correct as far as we know! Massive hit for Ubisoft that is apparently still being played by a hell of a lot of people.
@ShogunRok yeah I checked up. Juat shocked me a little. Hardly see it played on my friend's list. Yet to check out the full game myself. This could make me pick it up.
@daveofduncan I don't think it's an amazing game or anything — it's definitely repetitive — but get a good group of friends and it can be great fun.
PvP death match in an open world could get me and my squad interested, I still want a DayZ type game on console but I have up on that many moons ago
The game gets a fair bit of neg' criticism for it's take on realism/authenticity (especially when compared to the original title/TC books). However, as I was discussing just the other night, the game doesn't get enough praise for the things that it does do right.
@DirectAim Playerunkown's Battlegrounds is coming to PS4 in year or two, I imagine. That one is sort of like DayZ, but even in PC DayZ is a bit of a mess. Maybe when DayZ is finished being in development in 2025 we can get a console port.
I got the Plat for this a week or so ago. Yesterday they released an update for improved helicopter controls!
It's fun, but there are so many collectibles that it gets a bit of a drag if you want the Plat. And the one thing which really still needs improving is the squad A.I. for single player; I once watched as all three squad members walked into the side of a passing train. But they've said they won't be doing anything about that, so the "ongoing support" may be impressive, but it's also very selective.
Personally, PvP is of no interest. I'm only holding on to the game in case the DLC/Season Pass gets offered cheap in a PSN sale.
