CI Games has announced that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 has been delayed. This news comes in the wake of the open beta that took place last month.
The developer posted an update on their blog earlier today which confirms that the game will be delayed. The team have decided to delay Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 for three more weeks while the team makes some final changes based on feedback from the open beta. While this is bad news for eager fans, this is good news for those who want to see this game succeed.
CI Games posted this statement on their blog: “While it’s an unfortunate decision to delay the game one last time, we believe these final changes will result in a better experience for players worldwide on day one. Thank you for your patience – we know the wait will be worth it.” The statement comes from Marek Tyminski, the CEO of CI Games.
The CEO added that the team has “worked tirelessly” on creating a “new Sniper: Ghost Warrior experience”.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will now be released on April 25th next month. This is a three week delay from the original April 4th release date that the team was aiming for.
This short delay should allow CI Games to complete further work on the game. The final changes to the game should better optimize it and fix all errors found in the Open Beta. The developer didn’t give any examples of what they’re planning to change for the final release. This is the second time that the game has been delayed. This new delay should be the final one and CI Games will release the game next month.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC next month. The game will be released on April 25th for both consoles and PC.

I really liked the open beta so it’s odd to hear that it’s being postponed. There surely were some minor bugs but do they really need 3 additional weeks?
You sound like 3 weeks was loads of time in game dev. It’s actually a very small delay and the game is still going to be published in April so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal
Yeah I know man. You are probably right. It’s just that I’ve been waiting for SGW 3 for such a long time now
I’ve been waiting for this game since 2 years now so I know what you mean.Thankfully time flows fast and we’ll be able to play in one month time!
IOpen beta was good, but i hoped, that it will be not so long befoer premiere and now everything changes. But just a little. 3 week more to make better game? I buy it.
I like your attitude man! If you ask me they I wouldn’t mind if they postponed it to June if they needed some extra time
After open beta i didnt expect, that they will have so much wrok to do. Luckly, delay is about three weeks, so no big deal.
Yeah the beta tests were OK but there were some issues, you have to admit it, right? I know it’s not a long list but still they have to make sure SGW 3 is perfect
With so big game there is no option to avoid some issues. I saw some of them and i think thats mater of days to fixe more of them.
Oh yeaj all the bugs were rather small. I didn’t experience any crushes or major bugs so I am positive about SGW 3
Beta was awesome, so I’m surprised with this delay. But first, it’s only three weeks, this is not a long time, second, I’m sure that CIG know what they’re doing, and we will get perfectly done game
Sure I’d rather play the game sooner than later but I guess that they still have to fix some issues. I loved the new ‘brothers’ trailer and a couple of new gameplays on gamespot. Has anyone of you seen them?
Awesome man but could you please post a link to the trailer you mention. I have not seen it yet and I’d love to watch it along with the gameplays
I think Maldy is referring to this one.

Wow man thanks for the link! That’s an awesome trailer. Nice to see a forum where modders are actually helping the community instead of forgetting about the conversation 🙂 Kudos a90skid!
No problem! Glad to help out.
I love this trailer. Looks like the game has eerything – good story, fine trailers and it’s gonna be awesome to play it.
Great story. I hope this is going to be better in full version. I’m curious what is this whole game really about 😉

Woooooww, I forgot about this gameplay. this is the most dark mission in whole game… Well, maybe not in a game, but the darkest we’ve seen so far.
Yeah, this is my favourite mission so far. Looks more like Half Life or Alien vs Predator (I know they are different, I mean the atmosphere).
Oh yeah I mentioned the trailer linked here by @lachlancosgrove:disqus. Sorry that I didn’t upload the link here in the first place
I wasn’t interested in this game until I saw the great comment section for this article. Nice community.
Pity you didn’t play in Beta. Many people said that this part will be awful, like previous parts. I played and I need to say that I’m surprised. A lot of improvements, and of course AI was on a high level.
I agree, Beta version was really good. Of course there were some issus and that’s why they keep delaying it – they want to fix it and give us perfect game.
I played Beta version as well and of course there were some things that developer needs to fix, but I think the game will be ready 25th April.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUtQi6PE-kY You should take a look at it. I think this is pretty nice side mission.
I like the idea. It’s great they’re going with side missions, it’s means the game will be even longer 🙂
