Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands was released on March 7. The game is noted for featuring the largest open-world that Ubisoft has developed to date, with the action taking place in Bolivia admit a raging drug war. However, the game’s depiction of the country did not sit too well with the local government, who criticised Ubisoft for portraying Bolivia as a violent narco-state, threatening legal action. In response, Ubisoft replied:

"Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a work of fiction, similar to movies or TV shows. Like all Tom Clancy’s games from Ubisoft, the game takes place in a modern universe inspired by reality, but the characters, locations and stories are all fantasies created solely for entertainment purposes. Bolivia was chosen as the background of this game based on its magnificent landscapes and rich culture. While the game’s premise imagines a different reality than the one that exists in Bolivia today, we do hope that the in-game world comes close to representing the country’s beautiful topography, and that players enjoy exploring the diverse and open landscapes it moved us to create.’
