More On: Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 released a few days ago on just about every platform, with the PS5 version coming soon. We detailed that a few weeks back at the announcement, "unforeseen technical issues," y'know. For now you've got options with the PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, and that PS5 can play the PS4 version with backwards compatibility, unlocking the next gen version when it releases. The first DLC will also be made available to all players on all platforms for free as a result of this single system delay. Nice. 

Contracts 2 hopes to take the franchise to the next level. The game features open world play where you are tasked with taking down 21 enemy targets, culminating in the fictional nation's corrupt dictator. The game brings an arsenal of not only sniper and support weapons but also drones, explosives, and turrets to get the jobs done, either as up close and personal as a stealth takedown with your knife or from distances of over 1000 meters. 

The press release is after the read more link below. It highlights the key points in this iteration's offering:
