After a while of speculation, Ubisoft has officially announced a fresh installment in the Ghost Recon series.

However, they unexpectedly joined forces to subdue one of Valentina’s rogue projects, Robert Reynolds’ Sentry (Lewis Pullman), whose Void, a terrifying manifestation, wreaked havoc across New York City.

Fazekas expressed that the top priority we aimed for was likely achieved. “Just seeing the series and even just the preview for it… We planned this so far back, and I recall conversations in the writers’ room emphasizing the importance of paying tribute to him.
