“We are taking the popular Ghost Recon franchise and bringing it to platforms that allow players of all skill levels to enjoy at their leisure, on the platform of their choosing,” said Chris Early, vice president of digital publishing at Ubisoft. “This is the basis of our companion gaming strategy that Ghost Recon Commander exemplifies so well.”

Other features in Ghost Recon Commander include :

• Gamer-on-the-Go: Players have the ability to pick up where they left off in Ghost Recon Commander; it doesn't matter if they've been away from the game for a day or for an hour, time is not a constraint.
• Customization: Ghosts can be upgraded and customized with state-of-the-art weaponry, armor and near-future gadgets.
• Asynchronous Co-op: Players will be able to have friends join them on missions or offer themselves up as a mercenary for hire.
