In a new gameplay trailer, the developers of Ghost Recon Breakpoint discuss the survival elements of the shooter and how they want to bring fresh air into the game world.
This is shown in the trailer: The new gameplay was released by IGN and shows some gameplay scenes. Additionally, developers talk about how they want to integrate survival into the open game world.
The title of the video is already very ambitious: “How Ghost Recon Breakpoint redefines survival.”
As an elite soldier behind enemy lines
Here’s why survival should feel different: The focus of the gameplay is primarily on making you really feel like an elite soldier operating in enemy territory. In this context, survival elements play an important role.
- Players should feel a constant threat as they move through the game world
- It is crucial that they consume enough food
- Injuries of varying degrees also play a significant role.
- Depending on how severely you are injured, your movement is impaired, and at some point, you may not even be able to aim accurately.
- However, survival should never feel exhausting or annoying.
Additionally new is the Social Hub as well as the bivouac. This is a camp that you can set up in the game world. There you can regenerate and modify your equipment.
During the gameplay, several members of the development team also talk about the implementation of survival.
Breakpoint is still a shooter and is not intended to be a pure survival game. Rather, the developers are focused on the atmosphere and mood of the game. According to the developers, you cannot die from not drinking or eating enough, as Ubisoft emphasizes:
We do not utilize survival in a gameplay way that requires completing specific and boring tasks. Why? When we talk about Ghost Recon, we are discussing an instant simulation. When people come in, they want to feel like elite soldiers, they want to use high-end weapons, and they want to survive in exciting situations.

So why more survival? According to the developers, the fan feedback on Ghost Recon Wildlands was positive, but a frequent criticism was that the game world did not feel truly threatening. They want to prevent this with Breakpoint.
You will encounter many problems in the game world for which you must develop various strategies. You are constantly hunted by the mysterious Wolves, which is intended to enhance the feeling of threat.
