Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2019

CI Games has announced that Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts is the next installment in the Sniper series today. While the developer perhaps got a little too ambitious by adding in an open-world to the last game, this time they are ditching the open-world to offer a more streamlined experience.

They aim to due that via the new contracts system, which is similar to that of the Hitman series. Players will essentially be progressing through a more linear campaign that takes place through the completion of said contracts, and you’ll earn rewards and make money to improve your character. Each contract will also contain side-quests, which provide a greater challenge along with greater rewards.

CI Games CEO, Marek Tymiński, said the following:

“We were too ambitious in terms of the scope of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, but we’ve learned from our missteps. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts will be more focused on emergent gameplay with an open-ended mission design that the team feels strong about, but it will not be set in an open world. It is going to be a more tactical, more condensed experience and the game will offer plenty of replayability, both on the single player campaign and on the multiplayer modes.”

The developer revealed that they will be carrying over assets from Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 to Contracts, which should result in the turnaround for the next game being quicker. The developer will essentially be taking what they built from that game and refining it, which is a smart move considering that there was potential with the last game.

As someone who played through Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, I’m glad to see that the developer is narrowing their focus with the next game. The third game tried to do a little too much, which resulted in the overall experience not being polished enough. The open-world was pretty bland and didn’t have much to really make you want to explore it, and its development hampered other aspects of the game. Hopefully with Contracts they will be able to deliver a winner.

Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with the release slated for 2019.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
