GR:FS Out in May

A release date for the long awaited (and often delayed) Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier has been set for the25th of May, 2012, for South Africa. The game will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 initially, with a PC version to follow at a later date.

“Ubisoft prides itself on creating some of the most compelling and innovative experiences in digital entertainment,” Adrian Lacey, IP development director at Ubisoft Studios France, said. “Today we are feature complete in our MP, Single player and 4 player coop campaign modes. We have taken the decision to move the date in order to ensure that all these ingredients are pushed to the highest level and provide a truly unique shooter experience.

“The Ghost Recon franchise is known for setting the standard of high definition gaming and we believe the extra couple of months will allow us to reach that goal. We would like to thank all Ghost Recon fans for their patience and look forward to unveiling some exciting new elements in the coming weeks.”

So, despite being due a few months later than we had anticipated, we hope that the game will deliver on Lacey’s words. We did get to see it at rAge 2011, and it looked pretty solid already. If they’re taking extra time for improvements, Future Soldier might just be one of the better titles of 2012. But we’ll reserve final judgement until late May.
