Ghost Recon Online Dropped for Wii U for Now

Those hoping to get in on the online Ghost Recon experience will have to settle for PC only for now.

Ghost Recon Online was part of Nintendo and Ubisoft's announcements when the Wii U was first revealed last year, however since then the publisher has focused efforts on the likes of ZombiU and Rayman Legends.

Despite the Wii U edition being developed in tandem with the PC outing, it's currently on hold for the foreseeable future.

Speaking to VideoGamer today, producer Theo Sanders revealed that the team is "focused on the PC version only", and if there would be opportunities in the future, there might be a chance to resume development on Wii U and other platforms.

It's not a reaction to anything specific happening to Wii U. It was a really fun, cool platform to develop for. But you realise once you launch an online service that it's an all-consuming effort, so we really wanted to have all hands on deck.

I think in the future as different platforms evolve towards service models and towards being really online-driven, community-driven platforms, then we'll definitely be looking at what our options are.
