Ghost Recon: Future Soldier set for March?

Although this is still unconfirmed, and therefore technically a rumor, there is a strong indication that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be released on March 6, the same day as Mass Effect 3 and the rebooted XCOM.

The news doesn’t come from Ubisoft, so the info could be incorrect or just changed, but Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Wal-Mart all have the game due on March 6, according to GameSpot, who first spotted the listing.

The time frame would make sense. A beta has been announced for January, exclusively for the Xbox 360. The game made an impression back at E3 2010. And then again at E3 2011. Thankfully it looks like it will not make a splash at E3 2012.

The date means it will face some stiff competition, especially against Mass Effect 3, but the Tom Clancy games have loyal fans, and this will mark the first Ghost Recon game since 2007.

Everything we know about Ghost Recon Frontline

The Ghost Recon franchise is just one of many to come from the Tom Clancy label at Ubisoft. Unlike the other Tom Clancy games, which range from first-person shooters to stealth games and looter-shooters, the Ghost Recon games have gone in the direction of open-world, cooperative sandboxes after evolving from more tactical, squad-based third-person shooters.

In a move that will be divisive among fans of the series, Ubisoft revealed the upcoming entry Ghost Recon Frontline will be a free-to-play, first-person battle royale game. This is a large departure from what the series has been in the past, and may appear to be yet another attempt to cash in on the craze surrounding battle royales, but Ghost Recon Frontline does have some fresh ideas.
