Ghost Recon Wildlands Releases Extended Ops Free DLC

Ubisoft announces that Extended Ops, the third major free update for Ghost Recon Wildlands Ghost War PvP, will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC on January 25. Keeping in line with the Ghost Recon Wildlands development team’s goal of expanding the scope of Ghost War, this update adds a brand new game mode: Extraction, as well as exclusive new maps.

In the new Extraction mode, one team is tasked with locating and escorting one of two High-Value Targets (HVT) out of a conflict zone, while the other team works to stop them by defending the hostages’ location. Planning strategy and making the right decisions will be more important than ever, as the extracted HVT needs to stay alive to win the round.

Extraction comes with two exclusive maps, “Institute” and “Garage”, and will incite players to adapt their playstyles and come up with new tactics. Both new maps are available for both Quickplay and Ranked.

Extended Ops also includes new gear for both the base game and the PvP modes. For all the additions and improvements, visit http://ghostrecon.com/extendedops.

Originally launched in October 2017, Ghost War continues to build a community of tactical PvP players with regular free updates that introduce new content. Following Extended Ops, Ghost Recon Wildlands will continue to receive regular updates bringing new content to both multiplayer and solo modes in the coming months.

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
