Ubisoft are well versed in open world games what with their recent Watch Dogs 2 residing in San Francisco, the last two Assassin’s Creed games in London and Paris respectively, The Division in a snowy New York City. Far Cry went back in time in Primal and now Ghost Recon Wildlands is the next of their popular franchises to go full-on open world after the story driven Future Soldier (what’s next hobo Sam Fisher in a Splinter Cell open world game).
Whilst it’s obvious a similar game engine as Watch Dogs 2 is being used in Wildlands there’s some fine moments to be had when you’re not surveying strongholds or staring down the barrel of a sniper rifle. Take a look at the 4K video which shows off some impressive lighting effects, neat contrasts in weather and topography. The video comprises scenes from the open Beta which features just two locations from some 16 possible areas.
