Last year, the online tactical shooterTom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: BreakpointintroducedAI teammates through its second live event called “Resistance,“which affected the in-game world of Auroa by shifting the balance of power between different factions. Ubisoft is now preparing to launch the game’s third live event, “Operation Amber Sky,” which will bring with it a crossover betweenGhost Recon: Breakpointand the team-based FPSTom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.
The event begins on July 12, 2025, and will center around mysterious clouds of gas appearing all across Auroa, as seen in a cinematic trailer released by Ubisoft today. This toxic nerve gas is called Amber Ruin, according to an event breakdown, and theGhost Recon: Breakpointteam will have to partner withRainbow Sixoperators Ash, Finka, and Thatcher to stop it from being sold overseas while also finding a cure.
