Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 aiming for PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2016

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will bring modern, Eastern European combat to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC in the first half of 2016, developer CI Games announced today.

Players will once again take on the role of a sniper and choose between taking out targets at ranged distances or sneaking in up close for the kill.

"The Sniper: Ghost Warrior franchise is one of the most popular in the CI Games portfolio with over 5.5 million copies sold, so we're investing a significant amount of effort into the third installment," said CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski. "We're fully committed to creating a AAA franchise that gamers can rely on for the ultimate first-person sniper experience."

The last game in the series, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, was released in 2013, and you can learn more about it in Polygon's review.

This November, after the release of Lords of the Fallen, which CI co-developed with Deck13 Interactive, Tyminski told Polygon that the studio had two AAA games in development.
