The DLC is set in an isolated Siberian location and will offer a more open world experience for solving missions.  Players will not be guided and the only way to find their way through the new location is by using the map.

In the remote abandoned Siberian city of Birsovik, the Russian government established a top secret military installation focused on arms R&D. American intelligence gets word that the facility shifted its focus recently to weapons of mass destruction. A CIA operative, M. Diaz is sent in undercover, posing as lab personnel, to uncover the truth. When he stops sending in reports, a search mission is quickly put together.

The player steps in the shoes of Cole “Sandman” Anderson, a veteran special ops sniper, now in the ranks of Task 121 – a group put together to counter any WMD-hungry warlord’s whim in the Asia – Pacific region. Anderson is ordered to locate Diaz’s GPS signal and assess the situation on the ground, then extract any intelligence he may have found.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is the only multi-platform first person shooter exclusively designed around the modern military sniper experience.

A couple days ago, reports that Warner Bros. had registered a whole bunch of domains with the word “Arkham” in them hit the web, and that got the games press buzzing. While “Arkham” isn’t a concept exclusive to the Batman franchise’s video games, the last few years have only seen video games with the name in their titles. As such, it stands to reason that something’s brewing, especially considering how successful the last two Arkham games from Rocksteady Studios turned out, and the ease with which WB Interactive could pull of a threepeat.

Now, these domains could also simply point to a new film or animated feature. Or, they may point to nothing, and Warner Bros. is simply trying to snap up as many domains as possible in an effort to avoid having to pay off some cyber-squatter for a domain it’ll actually want. Let me stop typing and just show you the list and you can guess for yourselves:

arkhamuniverse.com (Arkham Universe)
batmanarkahmuniverse.com (Batman Arkham Universe)
batmanarkhamarises.com (Batman Arkham Arises)
batmanarkhambegins.com (Batman Arkham Begins)
batmanarkhamdarkknight.com (Batman Arkham Dark Knight)
batmanarkhamknight.com (Batman Arkham Knight)
batmanarkhamlegend.com (Batman Arkham Legend)
batmanarkhamlegends.com (Batman Arkham Legends)
