Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 formally announced

Back in January, City Interactive told the media that it was working on a sequel to Sniper: Ghost Warrior. The past four months have been pretty busy, we're guessing, and the company is only now getting around to announcing Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2.

The creatively-titled sequel is headed to PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and is given a good shove in the right direction by the awesome CryEngine 3.

Not too many details out about the game just yet, but we're promised some "graphically stunning" missions, suitably challenging gameplay and, of course, more ghillie suits and bulls-eye precision.

We're hoping that it does at least a little bit better than the original, which wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms when it launched mid-2011. Expect to hear plenty more about Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 at this year's E3, where it will make up a key part of City Interactive's showcase.
