Free-to-play shooter Ghost Recon Phantoms launches next month

Ubisoft’s free-to-play shooter Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online will officially release next month, the publisher has announced.

The game will launch on Steam April 10th, under the new title Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Phantoms. The rename is to mark the game’s shift in art direction, revamped matchmaking system, and other improvements.

"The end of open beta is a new start to the game," producer Corey Facteau said.

"The difference between where the game started and the game today is so considerable that we felt we should mark it with a fresh identity. Feedback from our five million players throughout beta enabled us to continuously increase the content of the game and to improve what makes the game unique, the blending of intense shooters with the teamwork and tactical depth of MOBAs."

For those interested in checking out the upcoming title ahead of next month’s official release, the beta client is still available to download and play on Ubisoft’s official site for the game.
