Sniper: Ghost Warrior gone platinum

City Interactive today announced that its sniper game, Sniper: Ghost Warrior, has gone platinum with more than 700,000 units sold for the Xbox 360.

Marshall Zwicker, City Interactive’s EVP Sales & Marketing for North America said: “We are pleased by the success of Sniper: Ghost Warrior as it exemplifies our commitment to creating the premier sniper gaming experience. With close to 3 million copies of the game sold worldwide across all platforms, the franchise is the benchmark for sniper games and we hope to establish a new standard with its successor, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2.”

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is the sequel designed around the sniper experience, and thanks to the advanced capabilities of the CryENGINE3, it promises graphically impressive environments, more diverse sniper challenges, a rebuilt AI system and precision.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is currently scheduled for release in January 2013 on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
