Ghost Recon Ovr: A New Tactical Mil-Sim on the Horizon
The next big Ghost Recon game, currently known under the codename Ovr, is gearing up for its internal alpha phase this fall 2025. Insider Gaming reports that Ubisoft’s latest in the franchise is set for a fall 2026 release, marking a new chapter in the tactical shooter series.
According to multiple sources, Ghost Recon Ovr aims for a military simulation (mil-sim) approach. The gameplay reportedly shifts to a first-person perspective and revolves around a fictional conflict known as the ‘Naiman war.’
Early footage leaked under non-disclosure indicates a game style similar to Call of Duty’s Modern Warfare or the tactical shooter Ready or Not, promising a more grounded and immersive experience.
Ubisoft’s internal timeline suggests a typical alpha-to-launch cycle of around 12 months, which means fans may have to wait until late 2026 for the official release. The company is currently concentrating resources on other major projects, like the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake, which is expected to release by March 2026.
When to Expect Info on “Ovr”?
Ubisoft appears to be keeping Ghost Recon Ovr tightly under wraps for now. Sources within the company believe no major public reveals will happen in 2025. Instead, the game could be a highlight of a large Ubisoft Forward showcase next year, where the publisher is likely to unveil multiple titles and updates.
With Ubisoft focusing on restructuring after its Tencent deal and pushing back several big titles, 2025 may be a quiet year for the company. But with Ghost Recon Ovr entering alpha testing soon, fans can look forward to a fresh, tactical experience when the game finally arrives in fall 2026.
