Following an earlier tease, Ubisoft has officially announced that new content themed around Predator is headed to Ghost Recon: Wildlands. The Jungle Storm update coming this week will introduce new cosmetics and a class based on the classic film, but most significantly, it offers a limited-time mission where you square off against the Predator.Meant to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the original Predator, which released back in 1987, the update will arrive for free on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
