force shouting it from the rooftops, you’ll know by the end: Ubisoft is currently reviewing its global strategy to leave more room for new “economic models” that revolve around free-to-play or gaming services stay on the tough side. You still have to find people to play it, which obviously isn’t always won. The rifle reminds you of this during the day, for example, with a smile and a cigarette in your mouth.

Here is certainly a unique timing: two short days after the veil of a certain Tom Clancy’s XDefiant, free and multiplayer of its state, was officially lifted, The French glove announces that it will soon decouple its predecessor on the matter: Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad, Grave in battle.

Thanks everyone for playing.
