City Interactive has announced the June 2010 release of Sniper Ghost Warrior, the publisher’s first title for Xbox 360 and PC.
Sniper Ghost Warrior is set on the fictitious South American island of Isla Trueno, where a military regime lead by the ruthless General Vasquez has overthrown its democratic government to seize control.
As one of a group of covert commandos, the player is charged with infiltrating the rebel stronghold and overthrowing the unelected leaders. Intelligence indicates that Vasquez is due to chair a meeting with his cohorts in an old refinery facility, and a government plan is in place to set up an assassination opportunity for the crack unit. However, it soon becomes clear that the plan has gone awry, and the team must adapt and use their combat skills if they are to complete the mission.
The game promises an ultra realistic experiences thanks to a ballistic systems that accounts for the distance of a shot, fall-off of the bullet’s trajectory, and environmental factors, such as wind direction. Players must also manage the breathing of their sniper to provide a more accurate shot, while a ‘Bullet Cam’ system will offer close-ups as the bullets hit their targets.
In addition to a 16 stage campaign, players will be able to hone their sniper skills in a series of multiplayer modes in which up to 16 players can compete.
