Rumour: Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Leaks Ahead of Its Official Announcement

Couldn't ghost that one

by Robert Ramsey Wed 8th May 2019

Bloody hell, video game companies must hate when this happens. Just 24 hours before its official reveal, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has supposedly leaked. As caught by eagle-eyed Reddit user jrmywl30, an image of the title's collector's edition popped up online before it was quickly taken down.

Admittedly, there's not that much to go on here, but if it's real (we're going to guess that it is) then we know Breakpoint is the subtitle, and going purely by the included figurine, it... Kind of evokes open world vibes? The character's standing on some sort of rocky outcrop, at least, and their cloak's blowing in the wind, so the suggestion is there.

Anyway, we haven't got long to wait before we know for sure if this is happening. We'll be covering the official reveal tomorrow, so be sure to check back.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Oh Ubisoft lol. Despite loving the Division I just couldn't get into Wildlands for whatever reason. Looking forward to the reveal nonetheless though!

@Frigate My first association too. If it's apocalyptic, I'm probably out. That'd be just a bit too much after FarCry and The Division 2.

I never bought Wildlands, but I played most other Ghost Recon games before it. So, wait and see!

Very generic statue. Now bring Splinter Cell please.

Chances of this having more RPG elements like loot?

“Just 24 hours before its official reveal, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has supposedly leaked.”

Don’t you think a “leak” for every game, movie and product these days are more like planned releases by the related company? I mean a “leak” gets much more clicks and creates internet buzz than a normal news release as people rush to see what they shouldn’t be able to. Of course that’s exactly what company wants for promotion of the product.

With the number of “leaks” happening in most industries, there must be dozens of people getting sacked for “leaking” NDA stuff every week! (Though they’re not as they’re not “leaks”)

Call me cynical but these are planned to “leak” and they always happen at the perfect time before official reveals. Of course there are genuine “leaks” that happen but I wouldn’t be surprised if 95% of them are planned. Isn’t anyone other than me suspicious?

Wildlands is such a fun game, probably my favorite in the Ghost Recon series. I’ll be intrigued to see what comes next from the franchise. Ubi killed it with Wildlands and Division 2 (my current GotY).

Occasional squadmate AI hilarity aside, I loved Wildlands... well, the main single-player/co-op game anyway... I never touched the PvP multi-player they shoe-horned in.

So I'm interested in seeing what this is all about.

Also... this kind of thing must be deliberate. I run two sites, my own and one for a family friend... but I'm by no means a "web professional"... and I've never managed to post something 'by accident'.
