It's the 20th anniversary of the Ghost Recon series this year, and Ubisoft has revealed all the things it's adding to the latest title Ghost Recon: Breakpoint to celebrate - including a new Operation named Motherland featuring the return of Wildlands' Karen Bowman, and a crossover with Square Enix's Tomb Raider series.
revamped the game's NPC characters, and now it looks like the rest of the year will be devoted to 20th-anniversary celebrations.
While it was briefly mentioned in April's roap that Breakpoint would be getting a surprise Tomb Raider crossover, this "treasure hunt" now has an appropriately adventure-y name: 'Relics of the Ancients' - as well as confirmation that it'll be out this year as part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations. However, there's sadly still no word exactly when it'll drop, what it'll feature, or whether Lara Croft herself will make an appearance.
The other interesting reveal is that of Operation Motherland, the next big live event after January's Operation Amber Sky - talking with Sam Fisher about Solid Snake, so she's used to crossover stuff.

Beyond these two additions to Breakpoint, Ubisoft will also be holding contests, giveaways, showcases, a special stream to introduce Operation Motherland, "and more". Unfortunately, right now there are no dates for any of this stuff, other than coming this year. Some of it may even be out before the new Tom Clancy shooter XDefiant, which gets a beta in August and will feature Ghost Recon's Wolves.
As for Lara Croft, she's not got a new game yet but if she's not in Breakpoint she can be seen in an fan remake of Angel of Darkness - which was probably just as maligned as Breakpoint.
