Somehow, Palpatine returned. Sorry, force of habit. But on a more positive note, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is back from the grave.
Years after its untimely demise at the hands of scheduled deactivation by Ubisoft, the servers for Ghost Recon: Future Soldiers have come back to life thanks to a valiant community effort.
The revival is part of the PS3 REBORN project, which has been hard at work to keep the PlayStation 3 library online through custom servers.
Future Soldier is Dead, Long Live Future Soldier
Ubisoft unleashed Ghost Recon: Future Soldier into the world back in 2012, as a collaborative effort between Red Storm Entertainment and its Paris and Bucharest offices.
Future Soldier was the last mainline Ghost Recon game to feature missions set across multiple countries, taking the player through South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe in hopes of keeping weapons of mass destruction from raining across the world.
The game focused on near-futuristic tech and leaned hard on cover-based gameplay, eschewing the first-person perspective that defined earlier entries in the franchise.
As far as servers go, Future Soldier had a decent run. Ubisoft kept the lights on from 2012 all the way through...
