Developer CI Games has announced today that their game Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 has been delayed. The game was originally scheduled to launch in January 2017, but has now been pushed back to April 4, 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
CEO of CI Games released this statement today on the subject:
“We’re making an ambitious game and unfortunately still need an extra few months to make sure it will stand up to the expectations of the fans. Our goal is to ensure Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 runs smoothly on all platforms, and right now we still have some important work left on optimizing the game. This is our biggest project we’ve ever worked on and the entire team is pushing really hard to make the entire experience more polished,” he added. “I really hope everyone will understand our decision and will wait the extra time to play something we’re excited about, and that will redefine our IP and the sniping genre as a whole. This is a new beginning for the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series.”
Check out the Trailer:
“The three-month delay gives CI Games more time to polish and optimize the game. Unlike previous installments in the series, the development team is tackling new features in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, such as open-world gameplay across three large maps. You can take on missions in different parts of the world or craft bullets and modify weapons in one of your many safehouses in the area.
These are uncharted development areas for the studio, so it will take more time to ensure that the finished product meets the standards of its fans. CI Games will also use the extra time to make some improvements based on feedback from fans, press, and streamers.”
