Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is out today on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Developer CI Games has mentioned multiplayer maps in the past, but only today have they addressed it properly.
“CI Games, throughout our development of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, we have had two focus [sic], The first is to provide the best possible single player experience in our most ambitious game in the Sniper Ghost Warrior series to date. This has always been our goal and we are extremely proud of all the work we have done, and that we share with you,’ the studio said in a statement to Eurogamer.
The developer added ‘The second emphasis from us is to provide regular content updates post launch, focusing on content that enhances the gaming experience. Therefore, we have chosen to release the multiplayer update (that will be free for our players) after launch (the third quarter of 2017) for precisely the above reasons, that is not to dilute any potential from the single player experience.”
For those that pre-ordered the game expecting to play multiplayer at launch, it looks like you’ll have to make-do with playing the single-player over and over for a few months.
The reasoning behind the delay is wishy-washy, but the fact that they haven’t been transparent with those who were looking forward to the game’s release is worse.
