Award-Winning Studio, Loot Drop, Brings Popular Ghost Recon Franchise to
Facebook
San Francisco, CA - May 21, 2012 - Today, Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy?s
Ghost Recon? Commander, an isometric tactical combat game, is now available to
play on Facebook.
Brenda Garno Brathwaite, Loot Drop's cofounder and lead game designer, has
created features that both hard-core and social game players can enjoy.
Hard-core gamers will appreciate the beautiful graphics, tactical gameplay and
faithful translation of the Ghost Recon franchise to the Facebook platform.
Facebook and other casual game players will like the approachable dynamic combat
system and the ability to start and stop the game at their convenience without
penalty. Ghost Recon Commander also features 10 replayable missions, three
difficulty levels and dozens of weapons for players to choose from to help them
win their missions. These features help make Ghost Recon Commander fun for all
types of gamers.
"We are taking the popular Ghost Recon franchise and bringing it to platforms
that allow players of all skill levels to enjoy at their leisure, on the
platform of their choosing," said Chris Early, vice president of digital
publishing at Ubisoft. "This is the basis of our companion gaming strategy that
Ghost Recon Commander exemplifies so well."
"As a longtime fan of the Ghost Recon franchise, I wanted to make a game that
would appeal to me both as a fan and a gamer," said Brenda Garno Brathwaite,
lead game designer and cofounder of Loot Drop. "Ghost Recon Commander highlights
the tactical gameplay that fans of the series will enjoy in a social environment
that?s accessible to all types of gamers."
In Ghost Recon Commander, players will be able to develop their own "Ghost," an
elite Special Forces operator utilizing stealth, firepower and exciting
near-future technology to take command of the battlefield against impossible
odds.
Other features in Ghost Recon Commander include:
- Gamer-on-the-Go: Players have the ability to pick up where they left off
in Ghost Recon Commander; it doesn?t matter if they've been away from the
game for a day or for an hour, time is not a constraint.
- Customization: Ghosts can be upgraded and customized with
state-of-the-art weaponry, armor and near-future gadgets.
- Asynchronous Co-op: Players will be able to have friends join them on
missions or offer themselves up as a mercenary for hire.
Ghost Recon Commander can be played as a stand-alone game or played to tie
into the overall Ghost Recon universe. Following Ubisoft's companion gaming
strategy, players are encouraged to play the game alongside Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon: Future Soldier, available on consoles May 22, and Tom Clancy?s Ghost
Recon Online, available later this year. By playing Ghost Recon Commander,
players will be able to unlock exclusive weapons, weapon skins and bonuses to
use while playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Ghost Recon Online. Ghost
