Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is released 7th March and, following the closed beta last weekend, promises to be one of the games of the year.

For the first time in the series, players will take their Ghosts into the sprawling open-world of Bolivia, leading your AI team-mates in single player, or going online and allowing fellow players to fill the boots of your comrades.

Whether you're a fan of the MGSV reconnaissance and stealth approach, waiting until after dark to scout a base, identify a target and sneak in and out unheard, or prefer the Just Cause strategy of crashing through the front door with an armoured tank, Wildlands promises to deliver hours of exciting missions in the battle against the Bolivian Cartel.

So grab your gear, set your scope, and recon 10 reasons why you'll want to play Wildlands this year.

10. Fully Explorable Open-World

Bolivia is one of the most geographically diverse countries on the planet, offering everything from high altitude lakes and salt deserts, to the thick jungle that runs deep alongside and beneath the Andes mountain range.

It is also the setting of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

Wildlands offers an open-world rumoured to be in similar scale to the GTA V map, with the option to explore every corner right from the beginning. With more than nine different ecosystems and each region inhabited with unique wildlife and NPCs going about their own individual routines, as well as the gorgeous graphics we expect of AAA titles, Wildlands is set to deliver a sandbox playground as well as the elite, custom approach to missions.

The world itself feels real and compels you to explore – offering moments of isolation as you navigate the harsh wild deserts and jungles, to more populated high altitude towns and favelas where your team can more easily stock up on supplies and grab their vehicle of choice.
