14 DAY TRIAL // CI Games has just revealed their next tactical shooter game, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, which is very surprising. The studio launched Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts back in November and has already announced that the sequel will be coming this year.
Granted, the sequel to Contracts doesn't have an exact release date yet, CI Games confirmed that the game will be launched for PC and consoles this fall. Not many details have been unveiled along with the announcement though, so there's not much to talk about.
The only tidbits we're given about the upcoming game are related to the world and the gameplay system. Apparently, the game will benefit from the same gameplay system introduced by the first Contracts game.
“In the first Contracts, the CI team delivered a well-received experience built upon a new gameplay system that placed players in open-ended sandboxes designed to be a sniper’s paradise. Building on this success, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 will be set in modern-day with more game details being revealed in the coming months.”
As some of you might already know, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts uses mission-based gameplay, instead of focusing on the open-world formula like the predecessor. In addition, the skill tree has been redesigned and can be unlocked by spending money gained after completing various contracts.
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts received fairly positive reviews, which is probably one of the reasons the folks at CI Games have been hard at work to bring us a sequel. Even though there are almost no details about Contracts 2, if it's just a slight improvement to the previous game, then we might have a winner here. That being said, we're waiting for more information about Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 and a release date, which we hope to get in the not-so-distant future.
