  "account": "On November 13, Ubisoft will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise with a major update to Ghost Recon Wildlands. This update will bring significant visual and gameplay enhancements to the game, which is set in a Bolivia taken over by a drug cartel. Bolivia's government has filed a complaint about the game with the French government, but Ubisoft is moving ahead with the celebration. The new standalone missions for Wildlands, titled Last Rites, involve hunting down the leader of a violent cult in Bolivia's dangerous swamps and forests. Wildlands will also receive updates to improve combat, distance rendering, lighting, shadows, and image targeting in 4K resolution. The upcoming Ghost Recon Breakpoint, however, will not receive a similar update. Players can currently play Wildlands and Breakpoint for free on Ubisoft Connect during the weekend, or purchase them at discounted prices on Steam. Additionally, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is available for free until August 13. To mark the anniversary, Ubisoft has also launched the Ghost Recon Insiders Program, inviting fans to help develop the next Ghost Recon title.",
