Remember the next Ghost Recon? Codenamed “Ovr,” it allegedly had an internal alpha last Fall and was targeting 2026 while seemingly promising darker setting and Ready or Not-style gameplay. Unfortunately, it seems that development hasn’t been going well, according to sources speaking to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson.
According to a report memo, the military shooter apparently didn’t meet its internal alpha objectives due to “unrealistic deadlines and poor planning and management.” It also seems that the project’s directors aren’t responding to feedback, despite Ubisoft outlining how important its success is. It even praised the foundation as “strong,” but as one source noted, “If I were to receive this email on a production, it would generally mean things are in a bad way.”
Changes are seemingly coming, especially after the publisher reportedly rejected alternative arrangements. Whether this means layoffs, a development reboot, or the project’s cancellation remains to be seen, but in the wake of recent studio restructuring, it’s not looking great.
In the meantime, Bruno Galet will allegedly serve as senior producer while Jean-Baptiste Duval, VP of production, and Julien Sansalone, VP of the global creative office, are also involved. They’ll apparently be “more present on a day-to-day basis” and likely try to right the ship.
Assuming it’s pushed back internally, this could affect Ubisoft’s release schedule. Besides Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced in July and Rayman Legends Retold in October, the publisher doesn’t have much else in 2026, and 2027 remains a mystery (at least officially). Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
