It has been a few years since the last Ghost Recon game, but it looks like the next mainline game is on the horizon. New leaks suggest that the next Ghost Recon is deep into development and is about to hit a new key milestone. 

According to Insider Gaming, the next Ghost Recon game is being developed under the codename ‘Ovr' and is going to exit pre-production and into alpha this year. It is also claimed that Ubisoft is planning for a 12-month alpha, which would mean that theoretically, the next Ghost Recon game will end up being a Holiday 2026 release.

Ubisoft has not yet announced its 2026 schedule, but we do know of at least one major game due to release in early 2026. The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake is still listed as releasing in the current fiscal year, meaning it should come out before March 31st of next year.

Ubisoft rebooted the Ghost Recon series in 2017 with Ghost Recon: Wildlands, transforming the military shooter into a large open-world game where squads of players take on missions all across the map, with access to a bunch of new vehicles and weapons. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint continued this formula in 2019 but was not as well received by fans.

KitGuru Says: I am hoping that Ghost Recon comes back strong. The series has had two cancellations and two game launches in the past decade, so a flop could spell disaster for the future of the series.

There is still no release date in sight for the long-awaited Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake. However, other teams at Ubisoft have been doing fantastic work with the IP in the meantime. Since launching into Early Access last year, The Rogue Prince of Persia has been exclusive to PC, but is going to change very soon.

As spotted by Gematsu, The Rogue Prince of Persia has been rated for consoles for the first time. The Australian ratings board has finished their review of the game, revealing plans for a release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch consoles.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a 2D side-scrolling game where players take on the role of the titular Prince. The Prince has access to a number of parkour moves, such as wall jumping, wall running, swinging and jumping off poles, as well as access to both ranged and melee weapons. Initially, the game was planned to include a time-rewind mechanic just like in The Sands of Time, but this was later scrapped.

The Rogue Prince of Persia has been in Early Access since May 2024 and is due to leave Early Access and hit V1.0 in August. Console versions of the game have not yet been officially announced but that should change quite soon. Typically, games are announced within months of being submitted to ratings boards and recently, rumours have suggested that a Nintendo Direct is coming this month – The Rogue Prince of Persia could very well end up being one of the highlighted games during that showcase.

KitGuru Says: I've been picking this game up every now and then on the Steam Deck. It has improved a lot since the initial reveal, particularly where graphics and art are concerned. The V1.0 build of the game will include the third and final act, so there is plenty of reason to jump back in even if you played previously.

For months, we've been hearing rumours about a remake for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, as part of Ubisoft's effort to put an end to dwindling game sales. Now, one of the game's main voice actors appears to have confirmed that the remake is on the way. 

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake was first mentioned in 2023, when it was reported that the game was in the early stages of development. Two years have passed since then and now, it appears that voice actors are returning to record new voice lines. Matt Ryan, the voice of the game's main protagonist, Edward Kenway, recently teased the remake on social media.

According to VGC, Ubisoft is still working on the remake. Interestingly, despite starting development later than the other remake projects, it is looking like the Black Flag remake may hit the market before either the Prince of Persia remake (2020) or the Splinter Cell remake, which was first announced in 2021.

Ubisoft has been in trouble for the past few years, as game sales have slowed down to a crawl and new releases like Skull & Bones, Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora all failed to hit sales expectations at launch. As a result, Ubisoft took extra time with its most recent game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, which launched earlier this year to a positive reception from critics.

KitGuru Says: Ubisoft may have managed to avoid disaster with Assassin's Creed Shadows but now it needs to continue delivering on quality games at launch.

Rainbow Six Siege finally made the switch over to free-to-play recently. The newly named Rainbow Six Siege X has brought a lot of people back to the game, but early players were quick to find that currency gain for unlocking new operators had become very slow. Now, Ubisoft has issued an update to increase payouts. 

Renown is a currency in Rainbow Six Siege that allows you to unlock new operators without spending any real money. The post-match payouts for Renown had always been pretty fair when the game was buy-to-play, but after the shift to free-to-play, long-time players had noticed that Renown gain had slowed down significantly.

Rainbow Six Siege X director, Alex Karpazis, addressed the concerns by announcing that a ‘buff' had been applied, so players should notice the Renown grind becoming a bit faster. With Siege X, Challenges were also added to the game. These pay out large chunks of Renown for winning games with certain operators, or getting kills with certain weapons, so that can help speed things up a bit.

In an interview, Karpazis told PCGamer that the goal is “not to change the amount of grind to unlock operators, or to unlock anything in the game”. However, if the data shows that gains are too low, the developers are willing to bump things up, as shown with this initial 10% buff to Renown gain two weeks on from the Siege X launch.

KitGuru Says: Have you tried Rainbow Six Siege X since the update?
