Ubisoft today announced a collaboration with Amazon and Twitch to produce a 30-minute live-action promotional video set in the world of the upcoming open-world action-adventure game 'Ghost Recon: Wildlands'. 'War Within The Cartel', releasing on February 16, 2017, focuses on the Santa Blanca Cartel, a ruthless group that has transformed Bolivia into a narco-state. The video will be on the Twitch channel broadcast by Ubisoft and available on demand on Amazon Prime Video following the premiere.
War Within The Cartel takes viewers into the inner circle of the Santa Blanca drug cartel, commanded by the ruthless leader El Sueño. After an attack on one of their facilities, the top brass—El Muro (Head of Security), El Yayo (Head of Production), Nidia Flores (Operations Manager), and the Head of Influence (El Cardenal)—track down a traitor within their ranks and plot deadly revenge. The action-packed story culminates in the events leading up to the game's opening, when an elite special forces unit, the Ghosts, is activated to dismantle the cartel. Produced by Los Angeles-based digital studio Legion of Creatives, War Within The Cartel stars Grammy Award-winning entrepreneur, actor, and hip-hop legend Tip "TI" Harris as Marcus, a member of the Santa Blanca cartel.
"Ubisoft aims to offer high-quality entertainment across all channels, in games, films, and other media."says Geoffroy Sardin, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing, Ubisoft. “War Within The Cartel adds even more depth to the expansive world of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands and we are very pleased to be working with Amazon, Twitch and Legion of Creatives on this project.”
"Drug cartels are an incredibly hot topic in pop culture. We pride ourselves on the fact that the characters, action, and setting of War Within The Cartel authentically address this theme." says executive producer Roberto Orci.
