We continue with stories from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) as game publishers showcased their various games made for the dominant game consoles, mobiles and the PC for this year. One game publisher that was able to pull off a surprise is Ubisoft, with Ubisoft Paris taking charge of developing the newest in the Ghost Recon third-person shooter series, "Ghost Recon Wildlands."

What really does get out attention is the breathtakingly massive virtual gaming environment they created as "Ghost Recon Wildlands" goes Open-World. Open-World in video games allow the player a lot of freedom to decide when and how to approach game objectives. If you're a Mindcraft gamer, then this is an easy concept to grasp.

One aspect of Open-World is the massive environment for the gamer to exercise this freedom of approaching game objectives. In "Ghost Recon Wildlands" you are pitted against a ruthless Bolivian Santa Blanca drug cartel, as part of The Ghosts who were sent deep inside enemy territory or around the word to take down the cartel.  As a single player or in a cooperative gameplay, the gamers can  take the missions anyway they want and in no particular order. There are no cinematics as seen in FPS video games to drive the plot, and the missions are in 9 different environments around the world. There are also vehicles that can be brought into play: choppers, speedboats, trucks, motorbikes, and more.

If you are familiar with Far Cry 2, expect factions in the game and try to influence their behaviour. Even if it's also a coop-game,  it also allows players to explore the game on their own and they can meet at certain points, since it's an expansive landscape and that landscape is based on mountainous Bolivia. As you approach an objective, you can determine decide whether you want to go quiet or you want to go loud, it's all up to you. That’s the beauty of an Open-World game and with the lack of a script, you create your own story in going through the game. It also reminds you of Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain, as it lets players decide how they accomplish the missions in  the best way they see is possible.

It's something to look forward to in the future. However, we don't know when "Ghost Recon: Wildlands" will be released as there was no mention of a target release date at the E3.
