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 set in modern day Middle East, 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.

Series veterans are in for a challenge, as Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 demands a new level of skill, focus, and precision, with many targets now over a 1000m away - a first for the series.

Developed by the same studio behind the original game, Contracts 2 pushes new boundaries with its hyper-realistic sniping experience; master a wide arsenal of weaponry based on realistic military equipment; explore vast terrains with an enhanced level of detail; and confront the series’ most lifelike enemies to date.

Equipped with all-new equipment, each highly replayable contract can be completed in a variety of ways. Replay the mission with a different approach to complete all objectives, ready to spend your earnings on improved gadgets and weaponry.

Contracts 2 introduces new levels of fidelity, with optimized visuals, improved FPS, and an enhanced game engine, resulting in the best looking entry to the series yet. Pull off ultra realistic stealth kills, captured in viscerally graphic detail thanks to the cinematic bullet cam.

Some Steam Screenshots:

• Eliminate an array of targets from extreme long-range as contract sniper assassin.

• Explore 5 distinct, extensive maps in the Middle East conflict zone.
• Execute 24 new contracts and a range of side operations.

• Revisit each contract with a different approach to complete all objectives and collect maximum rewards.

Looking at the screens, I think it's visually quite a bit nicer than Contracts 1. CryEnging putting in the work. The one-year turnaround between Contracts and Contracts 2 is a mite concerning in terms of scope and content, but I'm hoping for the best. The fact the game puts such a focus on long range shots says to me that they've listened to feedback about how Contracts 1 forced players to get close to targets regardless, usually to loot something from their body. But it seems like the game supports multiple playstyles still.

The UI looks nigh-identical to Contracts. The assault rifle is the same model from SGW3 by the looks of it, just with new texture work.

I really enjoyed SGW3, with the improvement project mod. Great open world shooter really.

But Contracts...the levels were nice visually, but somehow it didn't grab me nearly as much. I hate how saving and respawn is handled, and the AI was just...too random combined with bad. Not sure if I will ever pick up the sequel. Maybe I will try it in gamepass or something.

Available now, ‘Butcher’s Banquet’ is free on all platforms, and introduces an entirely new, unexplored region - The Temple - complete with all-new contracts and objectives. As a new threat looms over Kuamar, your mission is to put a stop to the movement’s notorious leader, Mahmoud Zarza, aka… the Butcher.

Butcher’s Banquet - Free Major Expansion

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 now includes ‘Butcher’s Banquet’: a major expansion which introduces an entirely new and expansive region - The Temple - complete with all-new objectives and some of your most deadly contracts, yet.

The stunning desert-like area, made up of luscious oases, dramatic waterfalls, and mysterious temples, might look picturesque, but make no mistake - it’s no holiday destination. Following the recent turmoil in Kuamar, a new threat has been allowed to surface. The movement is led by the notorious Mahmoud Zarza... aka ‘The Butcher’. Unpredictable and incredibly dangerous (hence the moniker), we need you to eliminate him and his equally-lethal associates, and in doing so, put a stop to the faction's rapid uprising… as only you know how.
