City Interactive’s upcoming tactical, first person shooter game “Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2,” which is a sequel to “Sniper: Ghost Warrior” released in 2010, has been set back for a second time, after originally being given an August release, which then became October. It has now slipped to next year. January 15 to be precise.
"I can confirm that this is true," Namco Bandai Partners UK marketing and PR director Lee Kirton told VideoGamer.com. "We will provide a full announcement with City Interactive soon.”
"It's key we all want this title to be fantastic in the genre and the leading SNIPER game for sure. The engine is fantastic and the level of polish is also key to the title's success. As soon as the official announcement through the publisher is available I will provide it," he added.
City Interactive has also confirmed the news via their official website. The new move will now see the game avoid several upcoming big titles including “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” and “Halo 4.” But, on the other hand, the game will miss the all-important pre-Christmas sales window.
“Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2” is powered by Cry Engine 3, and will give you a taste of varied combat environments. From rocky crags of Tibet, to the vine-covered jungles of the Philippines or the urban backdrop of a war-torn Sarajevo, the new game will test your instincts and judge you as sniper elite. Moreover, your ability to blend into your environment and cross enemy terrain is tantamount to completing the mission will decide your success and, eventually, your survival.
“Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 takes the bulls-eye precision of its 2 million plus best-selling predecessor to new and exciting heights. The only multi-platform FPS modern shooter exclusively designed around the sniper experience and built using the most advanced game engine in CryENGINE3,” says the game’s official page. “The missions of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 are graphically stunning and provide more diverse sniper challenges. Feel the kill as you experience unprecedented levels of realism in weapons, ballistics and environmental factors.”
