This week it's time for Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 to take the spotlight. Tomorrow at 4pm GMT + 1, SGWC 2 will star on devcom's Vertical Slice show live on Twitch. Hosts Astrid Gooding, Head of Events at devcom, and André Bernhardt, Managing Director at Indie Advisor, will be joined by Kenton Fletcher, Lead Creative Producer and Daniel Sławiński, Lead Level Designer from CI Games to play through and discuss the development of the latest installment in the legendary sniper series.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 marks the most challenging entry to the acclaimed series yet, introducing extreme long-range sniping with targets over 1000m away. Featuring a dramatic single-player campaign, experience high-pressure tactical combat deep inside enemy territory.

Take on the role of Raven, Contract Sniper Assassin, as he embarks on a new series of contracts in a lawless region of the Middle East, located along the Lebanese and Syrian borders. Tasked with a seemingly impossible task, your mission is to topple an insidious criminal syndicate and bring them to justice.
