By now, you should be well aware of Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Wowing the crowds back at E3 2015, the game was kept under wraps for a good while. Releasing the main portion of the game in just a few days, Ubisoft has outlined the features of its obligatory Season Pass.
Putting the good news first, the season pass doesn't gate everyone behind a paywall when it comes to future content update. Being patched in for free soon after launch will be a PvP feature for those looking to pit their cartel hunting skills against others.
For those who don't mind your games asking for more than their recommended retail price further down the line, however, comes the Season Pass we all know and loathe. Once the roll-out is complete, Season Pass holders will have gained access to two additional game expansions, an exclusive vehicle, faction-themed equipment and a permanent XP boost - alongside further temporary ones.

Throwing another bonus extra mission their way at a later date that looks set to simply through some incredibly tough enemies their way, Season Pass holders are granted one-week early access to the two major expansions releasing post-launch. Summarising the gains into a bullet point list is the best course of action.

The free PvP update will open up 4v4 tactical combat against other players. There's no specific word on a release date, but it's expected soon after launch. Releasing March 7, pre-purchase is still available at GreenManGaming for around £34 with free access to the Peruvian Connection mission.
