Ubi Soft has announced another addition to the Ghost Recon series, this time for the PS2. The new game, going by the name of Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm, is due later this year. Alain Corre, Ubi Soft’s Managing Director for Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and South America added:

“The Tom Clancy games are built with gamers in mind, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm is a great example of that fact. We knew the Ghost Recon franchise offers great online game play and fans were demanding it so Ubi Soft spent several of its resources to bring Ghost Recon online to the PlayStation 2 as quickly as possible. We are excited to deliver a great game to the PlayStation2. PlayStation fans deserve the best and we think Jungle Storm will deliver it.”

So what exactly can we expect from this latest installment?

Havana, 2009:

Deep in the sweltering jungles of Cuba, an insidious revolution is brewing. Led by a drug-funded warlord, its aim is to take advantage of the post-Castro power vacuum and seize control of the island republic.
Enter the Ghosts, the elite team of U.S. Army Green Berets. Sent to Cuba as part of a UN peacekeeping force, their mission is to destroy the warlord and his mercenary forces, and secure the elections for a free Cuba.

Bogotá, a few months later...

While the Cubans revel in their newfound democracy, the Colombian drug cartel that financed the failed revolution has set its sites on a new target. Readying a retaliatory blow against its own American-allied government, the Columbian cartel rocks the capital with severe explosions, including one that severely damages the American embassy.
Hearing the Colombian government’s cry for support, the U.S. sends in the Ghosts to deliver deadly justice to the Colombian cartel and end their ever-accelerating agenda of terror.
