The Santa Blanca cartel is a well-oiled machine. It takes several parts moving together in harmony to maintain the power it holds over Bolivia. Our narrative team has done an amazing job giving personality to the people behind these moving parts. Sam Strachman, our Narrative Director, had this to say about the process:

“We looked at the hierarchy of the cartel, all the roles that needed to be filled, all the jobs, and we created personalities around each of these jobs. “

Learn more about the Santa Blanca cartel, and the process behind bringing it to life in the video below.

We are thrilled to announce that the writing duo of New York Times bestselling authors Don Winslow and Shane Salerno have teamed up with us to create the cartel-themed novel for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Winslow is the award-winning and #1 internationally bestselling author of The Cartel, The Power of the Dog and Savages. Salerno is one of the most sought-after writers in the film industry. He is currently working with Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron on four separate sequels to Avatar, the highest grossing film of all time, and writing and producing The Cartel (an adaptation of Don Winslow’s novel) for master filmmaker Ridley Scott. He also co-wrote the film Savages with Don Winslow and the three-time Oscar-winner Oliver Stone, as well as the film Armageddon for director Michael Bay.

“I’ve written about drug cartels for more than twenty years and together with my writing partner Shane Salerno have brought that knowledge to the story, scenes, characters and dialogue found in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands,” Winslow said.

“I’ve been a Tom Clancy fan ever since I first read The Hunt For Red October.” Salerno declared. "It was a real thrill to work on this game with the team at Ubisoft, who are incredibly passionate and committed to delivering the best gaming experience possible for fans.” Salerno said.

Winslow and Salerno offered their knowledge of the international drug trade and their skills in storytelling to create an authentic drug-cartel narrative that will unfold for players when Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands launches on March 7, 2017.

“Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands presents a first for the series with our massive open world that can be explored freely. With this amount of freedom, we wanted to bring in top talent to create a believable cartel organization and story. As fans of their work, we knew that Don Winslow and Shane Salerno would be the perfect team to help us keep the game rooted in reality while keeping the game’s core entertainment experience,” said Nouredine Abboud, Senior Producer of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands.

We were able to catch up with Don and learn about his experience with cartels, as well as his first experience writing for a video game. You can see the video of that interview below.

Hello Ghosts,

We would like to announce the patch notes for our Title Update 2, available on PC on March 22nd and PS4 and Xbox One on March 23rd during morning UTC. We will have a small maintenance in order to update our servers.

The development team focused on improving all areas of the game, from gameplay content to connectivity and stability tweaks. The patch size will be around 3 GB on consoles and up to 5 GB on PC, depending on your client, and an in-game notification will let you know when it’s available. Players in game will need to reboot the game to apply the patch. Please remember that in order to play co-op, all the players will need to have the same version of the game.

In addition to that, following the community feedback we received, we have implemented the option to turn off the radios in the game by default, as well as the option to choose the type of vehicle you want to spawn when using the “Drop Vehicle” rebel skill. Now you should have even more tactical options to plan and execute your missions.

Also, for those of you who love playing with the most hardcore settings and all your HUD elements turned off, we have implemented the option to choose which type intel you want to collect when interacting with files or NPCs. This way the gameplay flow won’t be interrupted and you will be able to discover new missions, skills, and weapons seamlessly, even with all the visual tips turned off.

You can find some PC specific fixes and improvements at the end of the notes. On top of other fixes, the Home, End, Insert, Delete, Page Up, and Page Down keys can now be remapped--making life easier for some players, especially the left-handed ones.

Thanks for your suggestions, Ghosts!
