Ghost Recon Wildlands: Last Rites includes 60fps and The Predator, and is a free update

Ubisoft have dropped a big update for Ghost Recon Wildlands, which is fast approaching its tenth birthday.

Named Last Rites, it includes 4K and 60fps options along with “improved responsiveness and smoother performance in general.”

There’s also a new mission that can be started without completing the main game. La Llorona is the leader of a dangerous cult driven by revenge, and you must find her and uncover how she has risen to power.

“You have asked for deeper customization of gameplay and immersion for a while now,” add Ubisoft. “The new Ghost Parameters, HUD and Difficulty Options, and World and Session Settings allow you to customize realism, challenge, immersion, interface options, gameplay rules and more, giving you greater control.”

The Predator mission is also returning, and there are new skins to unlock, Mercenaries Mode and Guerrilla Mode rewards have been unlocked for everyone, all Ghost War Classes are now unlockable for free, as are various weapons in PVP.

Here are the full patch notes:
