In an odd coincidence, a delay was also revealed today for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, the next installment in a different sharpshooting series. Here's word on the one-month setback for this game:

Today, CI Games announced that Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 will be released on January 27, 2017. The extra months will help ensure that the quality of the game meets fans’ - and the team’s - lofty expectations.

“As we got close to the finish, we realized we were near the target but still needed a bit more time to hone some of the details to make sure Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is exceptional,” says Marek Tymiñski, CEO, founder of CI Games S.A.. “We sincerely appreciate players’ patience and commitment to the game. It’s just a few more months. And it’s going to be worth it.” For more details, please visit: www.sgw3.com
