Breakpoint focused on online play, leaning into the live service aspect of the gaming market.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint may have launched to mixed reviews, but there are other great games in the genre to enjoy.
Insider Gaming has shared details about the next Ghost Recon entry, with the rumored game said to be using the codename Project Over. And supposedly targeting a release window of 2025-2026. One of the most notable changes detailed is the switch to a first-person perspective, as the Ghost Recon franchise has not focused on first-person since the 2007 release of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. The 2017 and 2019 releases, Wildlands and Breakpoint, include optional first person modes, though it seems like this new entry will go all-in on the concept.
Rumored Ghost Recon Game Described as Gritty, Realistic, and Modern Warfare-Like
The new Ghost Recon game is rumored to take heavy inspiration from the Modern Warfare series in both gameplay and tone. Graphically, the game is described as comparable to VOID Interactive's Ready or Not. Project Over is set during the fictional Naiman War, and aims to include controversial missions, such as a squad coming close to shooting a man carrying a baby, because they believed the baby in the man's hands to be a bomb.
This described mission may sound familiar to FPS players who are aware of the controversial Clean House mission from the 2019 Modern Warfare game, where players are tasked with raiding a house, leading to the discovery of a mother and her child. If the player chooses to kill the mother, the soldiers question the player's choices, and players who attempt to enact violence on the baby have their screen cut to black and are given a game over, with the game emphasizing the message that "children are non-combatants," chastising the player for their choices.
