Is that Punisher on the Ghost Recon Wilderlands Video?

Am I seeing things or is that Jon Bernthal, the definitive Punisher, appearing as a different character in the upcoming video game set to be released on Thursday, May the 2nd? Have a good look at this trailer to Operation Oracle, a video game add on to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands game for PC, PS4, XBox, and Uplay by Ubisoft.

From PCGamer.com — Operation Oracle introduces a new character by the name of Cole D. Walker, a “Ghost Team Leader with his own agenda,” who’s been sent to extract a Skell Technology engineer who’s been arrested by Unidad. Skell Tech is the company behind some of the high-tech gadgetry used by Ghost Recon, Fourth Echelon, and Rainbow, and so obviously you don’t want him talking too much to the Bolivian military. Ubisoft said players will “uncover information that will redefine loyalty,” and warned that missions will need to be explored thoroughly: “What you will discover here might very well set the scene for the future.”

Players can try out this addon to the main game free of charge this weekend on May 2nd – 5th and help Cole (Jon Bernthal, The Punisher) seek the truth while battling scores of villains littering every play field in the game.

Check out Jon’s character in these awesome screenshot images below.

UPDATE – Ubisoft confirms it. Yes, that is Jon, The Definitive Punisher, appearing in the game. 🙂

About the author

Why does The Punisher play the harp?

It’s easy to imagine The Punisher shooting up criminal hideouts and blowing off the heads of thugs and mob bosses as the ultimate punishment for their crimes. But it’s hard to imagine (and believe) that there is also very gentle side to The Punisher no one knows about except for The Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist), Microchip (aka David Linus Liberman), and Spider-man (aka Peter Parker) who actually saw and became amazed at him doing something no one has ever thought he could do with his violent hands– play the harp. A gentle stringed musical instrument no one could ever believe that The Punisher would have such talent and ability to use his otherwise destructive hands to gently and tenderly pluck and caress its strings.

Indeed, it’s very hard to imagine and believe that the Punisher’s violent hands that brake bones, strangle necks, and punch out guts are the very same hands that softly and tenderly pluck, caress, and gracefully sweep across the strings of the harp.

Why does he do it, you asked? Because Frank is doing this in memory of his family whom he communes with through songs, poems, and prayers as he gracefully wave his battle-scarred arms and hands across the strings to fill his private family shrine with harp music that moves The Punisher to joyful tears.

Where did the Idea of The Punisher and his Harp come from?

It’s a concept I, Sherry Konkus made up myself. It combines my new found obsession with The Punisher that I had since 2014 and my life long love for the harp. It is the very best concept I ever made. This is my version of The Punisher from Marvel Comics who is portrayed by me as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his late family who got killed by a criminal mob years ago and whenever he needs a break from waging a one man war against organized crime.

The Punisher was created by Gerry Conway with the help of artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. His name coined by Stan Lee. The Punisher is owned and trademarked by MARVEL.

The idea, concept, and inspiration behind The Punisher’s portrayal as The Punishing Harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family is in fact my own. Sweetest. Idea. Ever.
