Summary
- Ubisoft may reveal the next Ghost Recon installment at Summer Game Fest, shifting away from past Forward showcases.
- Industry insider Detective Seeds hints at the next game being far in development, suggesting an announcement in the near future.
- Ubisoft’s rumored decision to avoid a Forward presentation may be due to a lack of upcoming titles, making SGF the best host for a potential game reveal.
An industry insider believes Ubisoft could show up to the live Summer Game Fest showcase with the reveal of the next Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon installment. Once one of Ubisoft’s premier game series throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon has taken somewhat of a backseat since 2019’s Breakpoint disappointed. Ubisoft did formally announce a free-to-play PvP live service Ghost Recon game known as Frontlines in 2021 before it was canceled months later.
Summer Game Fest is right around the corner and, as usual, there’s a ton to be excited about. There are currently three events locked in with more to be confirmed in the coming days and weeks leading up to the kickoff on June 6. Geoff Keighley’s own Summer Game Fest showcase will get the ball rolling and will be immediately followed by Day of the Devs, the annual indie showcase led by Double Fine Productions’ Tim Schafer. Xbox is set to follow two days later on June 8 and is looking to have another mind-blowing event just like its show last June. This time, Obsidian Entertainment’s second major 2025 RPG, The Outer Worlds 2, will have its own 30-minute Direct once Xbox’s showcase concludes.

Every Ghost Recon Game, Ranked
Ghost Recon is a series that has been going on for quite a while. Here’s a ranking of every one out there.
It seems Ubisoft’s Summer Game Fest plans might be looking a bit different than they have in the past few years. On Twitter, industry insider Detective Seeds has expressed uncertainty about Ubisoft holding its own live Ubisoft Forward showcase this year, going further to say that the French gaming giant could unveil the next Ghost Recon game on Geoff Keighley’s SGF stage instead. Whether Seeds is referring to a resurrection of Ghost Recon: Frontlines or an entirely new non-PvP title isn’t exactly clear, but they mention that the game is deep in development.
New Ghost Recon Game Could Be Revealed at Summer Game Fest Showcase
Ubisoft seems to be in a strange spot at the moment. With its heaviest hitters in Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows already having been released and no sign of the Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed 4, or Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remakes, Ubisoft might not have enough titles that are set to release within the next year to warrant having an entire Ubisoft Forward showcase this summer. Holding a live event to announce one major new game wouldn’t be a good idea, so dishing out the potential Ghost Recon reveal to Keighley’s SGF stage would make more sense. When asked about the heavily rumored Far Cry 7, Detective Seeds didn’t have much to share, indicating the open-world FPS might not be ready to be shown just yet, bolstering Ubisoft’s rumored decision to not hold a Forward.
Whether Detective Seeds turns out to be right will remain to be seen, as it’s entirely possible Ubisoft still has a Forward showcase lined up with a number of the aforementioned titles ready to finally be shown off. Summer Game Fest begins on June 6, with the SGF showcase kicking off at 5 PM Eastern Time. If Ubisoft does confirm a Ubi Forward, it’ll likely take place the day after Xbox’s showcase, as has been standard for Summer Game Fest’s schedule in prior years.
