A fictional Pacific archipelago serves as the backdrop for tactical survival
In short: Set in the year 2025, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint transports players to Auroa. This expansive, fictional island chain in the Pacific Ocean is a high-tech hub for artificial intelligence and drone research, but it has become a dangerous landscape of martial law and rogue paramilitary forces.
The game's setting, Auroa, is a vast open world designed to be larger than the environment featured in its predecessor, Wildlands. The archipelago is composed of diverse biomes, including snow-capped mountains, active volcanoes, fjords, arboreal forests, wetlands, and marine estuaries. This varied terrain is not merely aesthetic; players can utilize the landscape for tactical advantages, such as using mud for camouflage or sliding down rocky slopes. The environment features various landscapes that players can navigate using several air, land, and sea vehicles. This diverse topography allows for diverse gameplay, as players must manage character fatigue and injuries while traversing the terrain. Additionally, the game implements a survival mechanic where players must collect resources to craft essential items like bandages or grenades. To progress, players must also maintain their gear level through regular loadout checks.
The narrative unfolds in a world where Skell Technology, a military contractor, has turned the island into a hub for 'World 2.0'—a vision for the research and production of artificial intelligence and drone technology. The island's transformation into a technological centre was driven by billionaire Jace Skell, the founder of Skell Technology. His goal was to establish a global hub for advanced drone and artificial intelligence development.
This high-tech ambition is complicated by a coup by the private military company Sentinel, which has established martial law over the archipelago and surrounded the island with a massive drone network to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. The island is currently under the control of Trey Stone, who consolidated power following the death of the antagonist, Cole Walker. This occupation is enforced by the Wolves, a rogue unit led by a former Ghost officer.
