Present in the video game landscape for 14 years now, the Sniper: Ghost Warrior license – which began as Sniper: Art of Victory – is a series that mixes infiltration and, as its name suggests, long-range shooting. With a latest opus released last year, Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, there are now seven episodes based on this concept.
But things seem set to evolve, if we are to believe the project that appeared in the roadmap provided to its shareholders by CI Games. It is indeed a question of a “premium tactical shooter, PVE multiplayer”, which is currently called Project Scorpio. The link with the snipe saga comes from the studio in charge of developing the title, Underdog Studio – an internal structure at CI Games – already at work on the Ghost Warrior.
Taking the form of a service game with a long-term follow-up after its release, Project Scorpio will therefore support two other games also present in this roadmap, namely Project Survivean unsurprising survival-oriented title, and the already announced reboot of the Dark Souls like Lords of the Fallen.
