It may be a divisive release for Ghost Recon fans to contend with, but there's no denying Future Soldier's story was a good one. Though it came at the expense of non-linear missions, the title's narrative really went to great lengths to flesh out the characters that comprised the Ghost unit. Kozak's narration is certainly foreboding, and it looks as though Ghost Lead, 30K and Pepper are all set to return as well. By sticking with the same squad as before, Ubisoft are really going to let players see them develop in a different environment not all are used to. There's also a distinct possibility that Wildlands actually pre-dates the events of Future Soldier, as (thankfully) invisibility cloaks are nowhere to be seen. This prospect has also been reinforced by staff on Ubisoft's official forums, who are indicating that the game takes place in 2020 - 5 years prior to Hunter Squad's escapades in Future Soldier. Character development has never been Ghost Recon's strongest suit, so hopefully Wildlands will be able to turn that around with an engaging narrative that bypasses irritating clichés.
