CI Games announced today that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, the newest game in the popular tactical shooter franchise, is currently under development and will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in 2016.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is being created from the ground up by an all-star development team that includes Steve Hart, former senior producer of Rebellion’s Sniper Elite V2, as well as combat veteran and former Marine Paul B. Robinson, who has an extensive resume of game development reaching back over 20 years.
“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 Marek Tyminski, CEO, CI Games. “We’re fully committed to creating a AAA franchise that gamers can rely on for the ultimate first-person sniper experience.”
Set in a modern day conflict based in Eastern Europe, players will be thrust into the role of a sniper caught between three warring factions, played out in a realistic and immersive environment. Dig deep into the Ghost Warrior DNA as you choose between taking out your targets up close or from a distance, while at the same time focusing on your survival through evasion and stealth. Non-linear, sandbox-style gameplay on large open-ended maps gives players the flexibility to play and replay the missions in a number of different ways. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will offer intriguing challenges for tactically-minded gamers, while still remaining accessible to first-person shooter fans.

505 Games "Sniper Elite III" is now available to download via the Xbox Games on Demand service on Xbox 360 for $39.99 USD.
Following the success of Sniper Elite and Sniper Elite V2, this third installment features a greater focus on player choice. Set in the lethal terrain of North Africa, expansive environments are filled with opportunities for distinct play-styles, meaning you’ll never play a level the same way twice. In Sniper Elite 3 we join American OSS agent Karl Fairburne behind Nazi lines, providing crucial support and sharp shooting skills while battling the Afrika Korps and fighting to shut down German plans to build a devastating wonder weapon.
Since Rebellion Games announced that its upcoming shooter Sniper Elite V2 will feature “Kill Hitler” DLC, it has been inundated with hate mail from Nazi supporters.
"You’d be surprised how much hate mail we’ve received since we announced the “Kill Hitler” DLC," Rebellion’s Senior Producer Steve Hart told PSU at The Gadget Show this week.
After the realese of the teaser trailer to showcase the DLC, and the response from the gaming community has largely been one-sided with gamers excited at the prospect of hunting down the German dictator.
The hate mail from people not happy with the DLC has come as something of a surprise for Rebellion. Sniper Elite V2 is a third-person tactical shooter set during World War II.
Hart told PSU that it's a "thinking man's shooter," a game that requires patience and thought rather than a run-and-gun mentality.
To get access to the side-mission and a host of other goodies, gamers can pre-order Sniper Elite V2 which is due for release on 4th May on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
