Ubisoft has officially confirmed the development of a new Ghost Recon title, internally codenamed Project Over, marking a significant reboot of the long-running tactical shooter franchise. The upcoming game is positioned as a return to the series’ military simulation roots, with a strong emphasis on realism, immersion, and methodical combat.
According to information confirmed so far, Project Over is being designed as a first-person-only experience, a notable departure from previous Ghost Recon titles that primarily used a third-person perspective. The shift is intended to heighten immersion and reinforce a more grounded, authentic combat experience.
The new installment will feature milsim-inspired gameplay, focusing on squad-based operations, stealth mechanics, and survival-driven encounters.

Combat pacing is expected to be slower and more deliberate, prioritising tactical decision-making over fast-paced action. Ubisoft has indicated that realism will extend to weapon handling, with detailed ballistics and a deep gunsmith-style customisation system allowing players to modify firearms extensively.
In terms of setting, Project Over is set during a fictional Southeast Asian conflict known as the “Nimon War.” The narrative tone is described as dark and grounded, exploring morally complex themes of modern warfare rather than a conventional heroic military storyline.
Gameplay systems are expected to include destructible environments and advanced enemy AI, with opponents capable of coordinated movement, flanking manoeuvres, and adaptive combat behaviour. These elements aim to reinforce the tactical nature of engagements and encourage players to plan missions carefully.

From a development standpoint, the game is currently targeting an internal alpha milestone in late 2025, with a broader release window planned for 2026. Project Over is being developed either on a new iteration of Ubisoft’s Anvil engine or Unreal Engine 5, though the final technology choice has not yet been formally confirmed.
While Ubisoft has not shared gameplay footage or platform details at this stage, the company’s messaging suggests Project Over is intended to re-establish Ghost Recon as a serious tactical military shooter. If successfully executed, the reboot could represent the franchise’s most immersive and realism-focused entry to date.
