From the Press Release
Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online® is coming to Steam™. Since its launch, the tactical 3rd person shooter has evolved significantly with the help of its four million registered users. Players contributed their time and feedback to improve and refine the unique gameplay and team experience provided by the game, which allowed Ubisoft Singapore to continue developing Ghost Recon Online to make it the polished game that players now experience. Steam Early Access kicks off today in Canada and the game will be available worldwide this spring.
“Bringing Ghost Recon Online to Steam has been our goal since the game’s inception,” says Corey Facteau, Producer at Ubisoft. “We took the time necessary to reach a quality level that can go head to head with the best online games available today before releasing on Steam. As the top shooter for gamers who enjoy team gameplay, we have also seen our audience expand to include MOBA fans, who comprise fifty percent of our user base. To ensure a seamless transition to the new platform, we will use Early Access to fine tune the Ghost Recon Online experience before releasing it to the rest of the world.”
Developed by Ubisoft® Singapore, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online® is a tactical 3rd person team based shooter that allows players to engage in fierce and visceral 16 player online matches. The game delivers a premium online-multiplayer-shooter experience that is downloadable and playable for free on the PC and now on Steam in Canada. Players can choose between three Classes: Assault, Specialist, or Recon, to suit their particular style of play. As they evolve through the game, each Class can deploy unique Class Devices and other high-tech equipment to enhance not only their individual combat effectiveness, but also that of their team.
