CI Games announces new tactical shooter for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Lords of the Fallen developer CI Games has announced that it is "deep in the development" of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3.

The developer says that Ghost Warrior 3 will represent the tactical shooter series' "first AAA production effort." The game is scheduled to arrive in the first half of 2016 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

"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," CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski said. "We're fully committed to creating a AAA franchise that gamers can rely on for the ultimate first-person sniper experience."

The game will be set in a modern day conflict in Eastern Europe. You will play a sniper, who is "caught between three warring factions."

Lastly, CI Games said that Ghost Warrior 3 will offer "non-linear, sandbox-style gameplay" set on open-ended maps.
