CI Games, creators of the Sniper Ghost Warrior and Lords of the Fallen series of games, invites players to take an aural journey to the Republic of Georgia as the team elaborates on the musical creation and inspiration of the Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 score.
Composed and produced by Mikolai Stroinski(The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Detached, Kursk), mixed by Steve Kempster and recorded by Tony Phillips at Beautiful Noise Studios in Los Angeles, each artist was invited to the studio to provide his or her own element to the overall score. Some instruments used that may be familiar to a Western audience include drum, bass, synthesizer, guitar and vocals; but, there’s also the use of mandolin, balalaika and bandura.
Some songs on the soundtrack have a noticeable Georgian touch to them, and a fair amount of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3’s score is inspired by various folk and pop music researched prior to the pre-production of the game score. The goal in mind for the Georgian-influenced songs are to enhance the player’s emotions and to emphasize the location in Georgia while also leaving the location to be painted by other elements in the game such as the graphics and dialogue.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 tells the story of brotherhood, faith and betrayal in the most complete sniper experience ever. Take the role of an American sniper named Jonathan North, who is dropped into enemy territory in northern Georgia, nearby Russian borders. Explore large open-world maps with dynamic weather and a day and night cycle that actually impacts play and decisions. Customize weapon equipment, accessories, vehicles and a drone, and utilize the three pillars of gameplay to your liking: Sniper, Ghost and Warrior.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 launches on the PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One and Windows PC on April 25, 2017.

Every soldier needs a safe place to rest, recuperate and gear up for his or her next mission. CI Games invites you into the welcoming environs of the Jon North’s Safe House in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.
As one may predict by the name, the Safe House is a safe place where our lead protagonist can sleep to a designated hour, craft and purchase items, choose equipment loadouts and begin missions. There are different safe houses to be discovered in the northern part of the Republic of Georgia, many of which contain loot or new weapons to equip. After they’re discovered, players can fast travel back to these locations as long as they aren’t in a designated mission area.
Listed below are some key things players can access in the Safe House:
The Weapon Cache is a place where the player can change his or her loadouts. Primary weapons, secondary weapons, side-arms, gadgets, weapon skins and armors can be purchased and equipped here.
At the Workbench, the player is able to craft regular and special bullets, gadgets and medkits using resources found in the world. There are five kinds of resources, each used in different proportions to craft different equipment such as special bullets, gadgets, and modify weapons and attachments.
The currency in Sniper Ghost warrior 3 is called ‘Trading Goods’. Player can purchase almost everything available in game for it – starting of grenades and medkits, ending with weapons. Trading Goods can be acquired by various actions during gameplay: completing missions, finding collectibles, assassinating most wanted target, helping civilians or just simply found in the world.
Special Bullets:
- Luring Bullet: Can be used to lure enemies into desired spots while not raising an alarm. Players can easily dispose of enemies that can be seen by others. Simply lure them out of sight and take them out. It can also lure enemies out from behind obstacles and into view. - Tagging Bullet: Extracts a pulse that locates enemies through obstacles. It allows players to tag enemies in places where flying the drone would be too risky or would take too much time. - Armor Piercing: Can be used to take out targets hiding in cover, so thin walls, fences, and even metal will no longer stop shots. It’s very effective against armored vehicles. - EMP: Emits an electromagnetic pulse that disables vehicles and electronic devices within a small radius. A well-placed shot can ensure enemy reinforcements won’t arrive on the location, disable CCTV cameras, or can lure enemies by frying a power generator. - Explosive Bullet: If you no longer care about stealth, then this is your bullet of choice for one-shot, one-kill sniping. - DARPA: Experimental homing bullets that allow players to ignore wind and gravity, making these severe-condition shots much easier to execute.
Gadgets/combat gear are a large set of tools available through crafting or purchase that will help players execute their planned approach. These gadgets differ in their intended use, ranging from offensive frag grenades to defensive warning devices, but it’s ultimately up to players to choose how they’d want to use them.
- The C4 charge, typically an offensive item, can be planted as a diversion to make enemies leave their posts and investigate what’s happening while the player sneaks past them. - The throwing knife can be used to silently take out enemies without expending valuable suppressor durability, but can also be a last-resort attack in case of a spent magazine.
By choosing gadgets that best suit their style, players can greatly expand the variety of available tactics.
The player can modify weapons with currently unlocked attachments. New attachments, weapons and gadgets can be unlocked by completing missions, but can also be found distributed on outposts or out in the world. New attachments can be unlocked by accomplishing open-world activities such as saving civilians. Once unlocked, attachments can be purchased from the shop along with ammo, gadgets, med-kits and armor using the in-game currency.

WARSAW, Poland (Thursday, March 23rd, 2017) - We aren’t afraid of giving experienced sniper players a high difficulty for a more challenging overall experience. Today, we would like to introduce fans and newcomers to the series to a new mode in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 – Challenge Mode.
In the open-world setting new to Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, Side Ops are large side missions where players can move freely throughout the area, albeit avoiding enemies along the way. Watch the video to see a Side Ops mission in action with Challenge Mode added to it.
https://youtu.be/pUtQi6PE-kY Long-time fans of the Sniper Ghost Warrior games have asked for a mode that will challenge even the best players, and Challenge Mode offers plenty of challenge. With a missing heads-up display (HUD), increased enemy perception, and enemy markers that disappear after using the surveillance drone, successfully completing missions in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 will require a well-equipped arsenal of weaponry and plenty of gadgets and attachments to make it through undetected.
“Challenge Mode is one of my favorite features in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, because of how much importance it places on the skills of the player rather than relying on the game for help,” said Tomasz Pruski, senior level designer at CI Games. “A good example is when using the drone. It will tag the enemies, but once called back, players will need to rely on their memory to remember where the enemies are located inside the outpost. Precisely aimed headshots are also required, since enemies are more heavily armored on their body.”

It's the new beginning for Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise. We’ve worked tirelessly creating a whole new Sniper Ghost Warrior experience set in an ambitiously crafted open world.
WARSAW, Poland (Tuesday, March 21st, 2017) - In Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, players can choose from dozens of real weapon modifications to assemble the perfect arsenal needed as they progress through the game. Weapon customization is a key element in creating a unique tactical experience when playing the role of Jon North, an American sniper dropped behind enemy lines in the eastern European Republic of Georgia.
Players can personalize their weapon selection to reflect their play style preferences. The same assault rifle can be styled either as a silenced medium-range precision rifle or a light machine gun capable of pumping multiple enemies full of lead in one long burst. It’s up to the player. Choose from a huge range of guns, from the Origin-12 shotgun by FosTech to the McMillan TAC-338 sniper rifle.
Mod weapons with the options listed below:
OPTICS: Sniper rifle scopes with various degree of zoom, iron sights and collimators for sidearms and assault weapons. MAGAZINE: Larger magazines hold more bullets giving higher ammo capacity on the mission. SILENCER: Allows silent shooting. Firing weapons with silencer doesn’t alert enemies. Silencers have limited durability and have to be repaired after extensive use. BIPOD: Greatly reduces weapon sway, allows the rifle to be supported on the ground, and increases the aiming angles when supported. CAMO: Selected camos can be swapped between weapons. Players can choose from camos as Africa Tech, Hexagon Ice, Death Pool, Grass Wave, Copperhead Snake and many others (some camos available only as a part of exclusive DLCs) VISION: Laser aiming modules increase weapon precision while shooting from the hip. Flashlights provide illumination in darkened areas.
Different gameplay approaches require specific equipment and tactics for success. Here are some scenarios along with supporting gear and tactics players can use for a mission:
Stealth Sniping – Choose silencers, long-range weapons, warning devices (motion detectors that expose nearby enemies), and luring bullets. Stealth Infiltration – Choose a bow to silently take out your enemies and use your knife to perform melee takedowns. Action – Choose grenades, mines and C4 explosives. Wear heavy armor and attach drum clips to your assault rifles. Indoor Combat – Equip a variety of shotguns in closed environments and attach flashlights or night vision goggles to see in low-light conditions. Vehicular Combat – Lay down anti-vehicle mines and use a .50 cal sniper rifle to penetrate even the most heavily armored vehicles.
It’s important to consider all aspects of weapon modification when preparing for a mission: an increase in weapon weight may also cause additional weapon sway during combat and drain stamina while sprinting. Choose wisely!
With the huge range of weapon types, camo styles, shooting techniques and unique capabilities, players will be able to assemble the gear they want and make detailed adjustments for the way they like to play in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.
Examples of weapons, there will many more in the game:
McMillan TAC-338
FosTech
Compound Bow
