Ubisoft's squad-based shooter hitting Windows machines three weeks after console debut; constant Internet connection not required.
The future of Ghost Recon will arrive in June for PC players. The Windows version of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will hit retail and digital distribution outlets on June 12, Ubisoft announced today.
Previously, the PC version of the upcoming squad-based shooter was only slated for sometime after the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 iterations arrive on May 22.
Ubisoft also noted today that a temporary Internet connection will be necessary for a onetime product registration through its Uplay service. After that, a broadband connection is not required, except for online modes.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier gets its name from the Future Soldier programs being conducted by the US and its NATO allies. The initiative, currently part of the US Army's Brigade Combat Team Modernization Program, focuses on outfitting infantrymen with networked communications and high-tech equipment. The third-person shooter will have a cooperative mode, and its gameplay will focus on both stealth and heavy action.
