Ghost Recon Online now live

Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Online has finally decloaked, as the free-to-play third-person shooter launched worldwide today, officially entering its open beta phase on the PC.

Developed by Ubisoft Singapore, the downloadable multiplayer shooter takes place in a third-person perspective with a focus on cover-based tactical gameplay. As is standard for free-to-play offerings, players will be afforded opportunities to customize their characters by purchasing "premium items," including weapons, gear, and in-game boosts, as well as more cosmetic changes.

The game has launched only on the PC, but Ubisoft also previously announced that a Wii U version is in development. For more on Ghost Recon Online, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
