Publisher and developer CI Games have just announced through Twitter that their latest addition to the acclaimed tactical shooter series Sniper: Ghost Warrior, will be arriving globally this November 22, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
Taking the series in a new direction, Contracts ditches the open world design of Ghost Warrior 3 to deliver tense, mission-based scenarios. Contracts distills the core sniping gameplay that series fans have come to love, offering dense, more focused maps that reward tactical thinking. With a wealth of optional objectives to complete, the combination of open-ended missions and emergent gameplay ensure these scenarios are wildly replayable. Couple this with the intense environmental obstacles presented by the harsh, modern-day Siberian wilderness, as well as hundreds of ways to take down a wide range of targets, and Contracts offers sniping gameplay at its absolute best.
“We were too ambitious in terms of the scope of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3,” says CI Games CEO,Marek Tymiński. “But we’ve learned from our missteps. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts will be more focused on emergent gameplay with an open-ended mission design that the team feels strong about, but it will not be set in an open world. It is going to be a more tactical, more condensed experience and the game will offer plenty of replayability, both on the single player campaign and on the multiplayer modes.”
Contracts delivers tailor-made missions that offer a clear main objective with a fixed monetary reward, and options to complete secondary objectives for bonus payouts. With hundreds of ways to take down a wide range of targets, Contracts offers sniping gameplay at its absolute best.
