Marek Tyminski, CEO of City Interactive said:

“Sniper: Ghost Warrior was our most ambitious project to date and although it was extremely well-received by players, we wanted to ensure that the PS3^TM version took the franchise to a higher level. With exclusive content and modes, we are eager to introduce the best sniper game on the market to PS3^TM owners sometime in Q1 next year.”

Sniper Ghost Warrior is a 16-stage action title set on the fictitious South American island of Isla Trueno, where a military regime lead by General Vasquez has “overthrown its democratic government to seize control.” Taking control one of the individuals within a group of covert commandos, the player is charged with infiltrating the rebel stronghold and overthrowing the unelected powerbase. Gameplay features include “fall-off of the bullet’s trajectory” as well as taking environmental factors into account such as wind direction. Interestingly, players also manage the breathing of their sniper to provide a more accurate shot.
