New Ghost Recon: Wildlands Update For Ghost War Out Now, Here Are The Patch Notes

Ubisoft has released a new update for Ghost Recon: Wildlands' recently added PvP mode, Ghost War. The Interference update is now available for free on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it adds new maps, gear, and other content to the competitive multiplayer mode.

The biggest addition in the update is Uplink, a new objective-based game mode for Ghost War. Ubisoft describes Uplink as a "4v4 objective-based mode in which rival teams fight for the control of an access point situated at the center of the map." The mode features four exclusive maps--Warehouse, Oil Rush, Burn Out, and Sub Factory--which Ubisoft says were "carefully chosen to provide diverse tactic conditions."

Along with the new game mode, the Interference update introduces a new class, the Disruptor. This class can scramble an opponent's HUD when they get too close, similar to jammers from the Fallen Ghosts expansion. The Disruptor class is available early for season pass and Ghost War pass holders; all other players will be able to unlock or purchase the class beginning next week.

Ubisoft has also shared a roadmap of its planned content for Wildlands' Ghost War mode. The next update is slated to roll our in December and is called Jungle Storm, with a subsequent update scheduled to follow every month through April. Like Interference, each new Ghost War update will add new modes, classes, maps, and more to the shooter. You can take a look at the roadmap graphic above.

Ghost War was released as a free update to Ghost Recon: Wildlands last month, but players who own the game's season pass or Ghost War pass will get access to every new class a week early. To commemorate the launch of the Interference update, Ubisoft is selling the Ghost War pass separately on all digital stores for $15. Ghost Recon: Wildlands will be one of the many games you can pick up on sale this Black Friday, with Walmart offering it for $19. You can find a selection of patch notes for the Interference update below or read more about it on the Ghost Recon: Wildlands website.
