1. The release date is 2016 according to Ubisoft's new Wildlands website.
2. There is exotic wildlife in the open world.
3. Ability to collect intel by taking pictures.
4. Ability to give orders to AI squad members.
5. There are NPC children - it begs the question if civilians can succumb to friendly fire.
6. Some trucks and buggies have machine gun turrets.
7. There are planes, but it is unknown if they are operable by "non NPCs" - double negative
8. APCs exist.
9. At least some vehicles can be owned and saved - which begs the question if the base of operations or safe house has a garage to store them in.
10. Character customization now definitely includes: eyewear, hats, headsets, jackets, shirts, pants, backpacks, and tattoos - leads me to believe this aspect is going to be much like the division, only more detailed.
11. Weapon skins are available.
12. There will be emblems to choose from.
13. An additional mission is included with all pre-order editions. This mission is a battle in the mountains against both the cartel and their Peruvian allies.
14. Huntsman gear and equipment are available for some pre-order editions.
15. There are standard, deluxe, gold, and several collectors editions to pre-order.
