Ubisoft has teamed up with the European and North American Electronic Sports Leagues to deliver the free-to-play game's first worldwide competition.
Those wishing to participate in the first of a series of planned competitions will have until Sunday September 15 to do so, with the competition set to kick off at 2pm UK time on the day.
Once registered, players can enter a seven-week series of matches, which they can jump into at any time with a new mini cup being awarded each week. At the end of the series, the four teams who earn the most points will qualify for the continental Final Playoffs (US and EU).
Players will also receive access to new tier 8 weapons when Ghost Recon Online's 0.12.4 update releases on September 12. Representing the first set of completely new weapons released since the game entered open beta, the likes of the Nemesis 50 sniper rifle and SPAS-12 semi-auto shotgun will provide players with new endgame content, Ubisoft says.
The publisher has also announced plans to establish a new player and developer committee called the ATHENA Council. While everyone can apply to be a member, a handful will be chosen to open a regular dialogue with the game's developers in order to contribute community feedback.
