CI Games Discuss Future, Pledge 'Lords Of The Fallen' Sequel
The recent release and overall development cycle of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has been a hard lesson for CI Games, reveal the studio, who affirm their direction.
Overall Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 was 'too ambitious' for the staff and talent on-hand at CI Games but has been 'an invaluable lesson' for everyone involved. The studio tease they're already looking to work on a new tactical shooter, move on a sequel to Lords of the Fallen and continue support for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.
“We’ve learned a lot as a team over the course of development for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, much of which I believe has shaped the talented individuals within CI Games and the entire studio for the better,” said Chief Executive Officer Marek Tymiñski. “When we began development of SGW3, we decided on such a relatively large scale of the game with its open world that now we realize it was just too ambitious versus what we could have been able to deliver in any reasonable amount of time. We simply made the wrong math considering the size of our team and the originally given timeframe. By positioning the game in a AAA category, it took us away from what we could have done great. Instead we spent too much effort trying to catch up with other AAA titles in terms of their production values and features. That was a big mistake.”
“All of that was a huge lesson for us and we’re now moving forward without any tag attached to our next project. We’re planning to make a great tactical shooter where we can focus on exciting gameplay, some key mechanics, and missions that have depth without all of the trappings of a large open-world setting. We want to make this game even more tactical than SGW3, and I believe the last three years have created a wonderful foundation that we can build upon for our next game,” continued Tymiñski.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 released on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 3 in April 2017. Lords of the Fallen 2 is in development for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
