Watch 24 minutes of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

Here's a decent sized chunk of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 footage, taken from a behind closed doors presentation at E3. In it, you get to see the aforementioned warrior—not actually a ghost—methodically make his way through mindfields and vegetation in the hope of eventually firing a piece of metal into somebody's head.

This time, you'll be participating in a modern-day conflict between three warring factions in Eastern Europe. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 will feature large, non-linear maps, crafting and—as the video shows—a sort of mine-o-vision detection mode.

It's due out next year.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
