SNIPER GHOST WARRIOR CONTRACTS 3: RELEASE DATE NEWS, DEVELOPMENT UPDATES, AND MORE
August 18, 2022
For the time being it’s not clear if CI Games are planning to make another entry in the ‘main’ Sniper Ghost Warrior series or whether they’ll continue down the route of releasing another new entry in the spin-off ‘Contract’ series.
The first Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts game launched in 2019 and signalled a smaller, tighter experience. Both it and the 2021 sequel received generally positive reviews from both long-time fans and critics. In many ways, Contracts was a reaction to the middling reception of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, which was intended as more of an open-world sniping experience, but ultimately was plagued with bugs and several more issues at launch.
18 Aug Update - Checked for the latest Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts news. All the most recent updates are found just below.
CI Games CEO Marek Tymiński later admitted the studio had bitten off more than it could chew with SGW3, with the developer suggesting it “simply made the wrong math considering the size of our team”.
He also added that the team had learned “huge” lessons from the process and were keen to explore a new shooter “without the trapping of a large open-world setting.” That game eventually became Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts.
It makes sense that CI Games will continue down the route of releasing another Contracts title, and focus on their smaller tighter experiences which have more recently proved far more successful, both critically and commercially.

Release Date
For the time being there’s no release window for the next Sniper Ghost Warrior game. CI Games Underdog Studio are working on the title, and previously we saw a mere 18 months between ‘Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts’ and ‘Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts 2’.
Assuming the studio isn’t looking to reinvent the wheel, we would have to assume that the next game in the franchise would also be roughly 2 away from launching. For now, we would tentatively suggest that the next Sniper Ghost Warrior game will release in 2023. But don’t take our word for that, as this is just an estimate based on the developer’s recent history.
That’s everything you need to know about the next Sniper Ghost Warrior game, but stay tuned to Turtle Beach for more updates and leaks.
