Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online® Announces Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell® Crossover
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- Today, Ubisoft® announced the launch of a new crossover for its free-to-play PC shooter, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online®. Inspired by the success of the cross over pack between Ghost Recon Online and Assassin’s Creed® released in February, the Ghost Recon Online team is releasing new content from another major Ubisoft franchise: Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell®.
Following the release of the critically-acclaimed Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell® Blacklist™, Ghost Recon Online players will be able to use the weapons and gear of Splinter Cell lethal operative Sam Fisher to fully customize their in-game character for all three classes. “The spies of Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon Online’s Ghosts can now go toe-to-toe with the Phantoms,” explains Corey Facteau, GRO’s Producer at Ubisoft Singapore.
Also new to Ghost Recon Online, players looking to gift items, including new Splinter Cell gear, will now be able to do so easily in the store.
In the same patch, Ghost Recon Online is also revealing a new map. “Khyber Stronghold is the most ambitious map we’ve developed to date. We’re transporting our players to the Middle East, to a city inspired by Peshawar, Pakistan,” added Facteau. “Our community is more than three million strong, who we work to continuously provide new content for. Our goal is to keep their experience fresh and dynamic, so we’re looking forward to seeing how they explore Khyber Stonghold and use Sam Fisher’s items in-game.”
Ghost Recon Online’s first worldwide competition, announced earlier this month in partnership with the Electronic Sports League, ESL (EU) and North American Electronic Sports League, NESL (US), has just finished three of eight cups with a lot more action to come. Players can still register their clan for the competition and join the five remaining weekly tournaments.
