'Ghost Recon: Wildlands' PvP deathmatch mode coming later this year

You know how it goes — sometimes in Ghost Recon, you get tired of working with your friends to complete missions and you just want to shoot them instead.

If that's you, then we have some good news: Ghost Recon: Wildlands is getting its first player-versus-player mode called Ghost War in an update coming later this year, and it's going to be completely free. Check out a preview of the mode in this video:

Ghost War lets Wildlands players go toe-to-toe for the first time in 4v4 team deathmatches played out on "large-scale, open maps" based on locations from the main game. The update is expected to release this fall, but there will be an open beta for eager testers available on all platforms later this summer.

Sticking to the tactical nature of Wildlands, players in Ghost War can select different classes of fighters to fill specific roles on their teams, including scout, sniper, tank, and more. Players can utilize new PvP-specific mechanics to try and get the upper hand, including suppressing fire and sound markers, which could mean that sound plays a pretty big role in Ghost War as it does in many modern competitive tactical shooters.

Based on the video put out by Ubisoft, Ghost War appears to be a last-team-standing game mode without respawn, where teams win by eliminating the opposing team rather than racking up points by getting as many kills as possible.

One team plays as Ghosts and one team plays as spec ops soldiers fighting for control over Bolivia.

More details about Ghost War will be coming at a later date.
