CI Games has today announced the company's future plans and the projects they are working on in the near future, as well as admitting that as a team they perhaps bit off more than they could chew for their most recent game, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3.
The studio has confirmed that they are now working on a new tactical shooter, although at this stage details are scarce. In addition to this, CI Games has also announced that they are also working on the sequel to Lords of the Fallen, but they haven't disclosed any further information on that, and they will keep on supporting Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 with new updates throughout the year.
"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 Tymiński.
"When we began development of SGW3, we decided on such a relatively large scale of the game with its open world that now we realise 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 time-frame. 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."
Tymiński continued: "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."
