IRVINE, Calif., March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- 5.11®, the world's leading innovator of
purpose-built gear for tactical professionals and consumers, is
launching an exclusive four-part live-action video series for
Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon® Wildlands as the next step in
its global partnership with Ubisoft®.
The 5.11 Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon® Tactics video series features
elite operators utilizing 5.11 gear and the real-world tactics that
the Wildlands' Ghosts use in-game to battle the Santa Blanca
Cartel. The videos will be launched across 5.11's and Ubisoft's
social media channels on March 6,
2017, in advance of the game's debut on March 7.
"Elite tactical teams around the world rely on 5.11's
purpose-built gear to complete their most demanding missions," said
Willem Driessen, 5.11's vice
president, global marketing. "In our video series, players will see
how the best gear and the right tactics prepare real-world
operators for successful missions. They can then apply what they
learn to defeat the Santa Blanca Cartel in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands."
Set a few years in the future, Tom
Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands allows players to
lead a team of Ghosts, a four-player U.S. Elite Special Operations
unit, on a covert mission to eliminate the Santa Blanca drug
cartel, an underworld power and growing global threat within
Ubisoft's imagining of an incredibly beautiful, yet dangerous
Bolivia.
Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon® Wildlands takes place in the largest and most
diverse action-adventure open world Ubisoft has created to date.
With hundreds of villages and well-known landmarks, local legends
and various factions and regions, players venture into a vast world
with which to interact and explore.
The Ghosts' upgradable skills, along with a vast arsenal of
weapons, vehicles and drones at their disposal, help them take down
the enemy. Players can outfit characters in their favorite 5.11
gear and apparel including the TacTec Plate Carrier, RUSH backpacks
and Apex™ pants. Players also have a wide variety of vehicles and
state-of-the-art weapons technology to select from, along with
total freedom to choose how they accomplish their missions. They
can then watch as the world reacts to their actions.
"5.11's reputation for authenticity and innovation is lock-step
with the pillars of Tom Clancy's
Ghost Recon® franchise," said Adam Novickas, Ubisoft's vice president of
marketing and brand management. "Incorporating 5.11 gear into
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon®
Wildlands reinforced our ability to create a realistic open world
military shooter experience for our fans."
"Military and law enforcement operators are no longer the only
users of tactical gear," Driessen said. "Millions of people lead a
tactical lifestyle on a daily basis, choosing to always be prepared
for whatever comes their way. From our rugged backpacks to our
performance, purpose-built pants, men and women of all backgrounds
use 5.11 apparel and gear."
5.11 will promote the video series, and the in-game product
integration in their stores and online on 511tactical.com, and
across its social media platforms.
Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon® Wildlands will be available on all major consoles
and PC on March 7, 2017.
