The highly anticipated update was to fill a large gap missing within this new iteration in theGhost Reconseries. Team AI has been a part of the DNA of the franchise since its inception in 2001. Though the core gameplay of the series has remained unchanged, the overall focus on open world content, micro-transactions and the exclusion of team AI had left some fans yearning for the days or yore. Earlier this year, Ubisoft Paris released part one of the initialoverhaul titled The Ghost Experience. This patch focused on the removal of gear levels, a customizable HUD and a focus on more tactical game play. The update also allowed players to turn off auto-healing to enhance realism akin to prior games.
With the new date set for July, the patch will combine the team AI addition, a new Gunsmith update and address some major exploits within the game. These updates are releasing along side the already planned content updates for the game and its season pass.
