Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta Begins Tomorrow but Download Available Right Now

News: The Ghost Recon Wildlands beta doesn’t begin until tomorrow but pre-load is available right now so you can be ready once the servers go live.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is coming out soon but before that happens you can get a small taste of the game with the open beta that is getting ready to take place. The open beta begins tomorrow (February 23) at 6 a.m. Eastern and will run until February 27 at 6 a.m. Eastern. You don’t have to wait until tomorrow though to download the game as pre-loading is now available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. In Ghost Recon Wildlands you can play solo or with up to three friends as you work together via co-op to take down the cartel.

Throughout the open beta you will have the chance to explore two of the provinces in the game (with many more being in the full, retail version). Itacua is one such province and is essentially the “landing province” of the full game. It will allow you to get familiar with some of Ghost Recon’s environment and gain some new XP that will allow you to unlock new skills before you head into the second province, Montuyoc.

In Itacua you will find the capital town of Khochi. It is a haven of peace that was the rallying cry of Bolivian cocaleros as well as others that were persecuted by the cartel. Fugitives here were able to get organized which included acquiring better weapons other than the shotguns they normally had. Shelters were also built and they trained relentlessly. Some of the Rebellion here launched attacks against the cartel but those who were captured were handed over to La Yuri and El Polito who are responsible for torturing the prisoners to try and get any information they can about the rebellion.

In Montuyoc the activity of the inhabitants seem to revolve around llama breeding and barley cultures. There is also a vast arsenal there that is protected by a large base which contains the most modern small and heavy weapons, guns, tanks, mortars and anti-aircraft missiles. The goal of Santa Blanca at Montuyoc is to train a elite army capable of standing up to the best armies in South America.

Take a look at the trailer below for the upcoming beta and tell us what you think. Are you excited to try out Ghost Recon Wildlands?
