CI Games, the studio behind Sniper: Ghost Warrior and Lords of the Fallen has announced plans for what its “next five years” will look like, including a live service shooter and a survival game.

The plans were shared in a roadmap with investors on Monday, with the Polish-based company planning on a new “premium, multiplayer, PVE tactical-shooter.” It is currently codenamed Project Scorpio.

Underdog Studio, an internal team at CI Games will be leading development on the live service shooter. Underdog Studio was also behind the Ghost Warrior series. Project Scorpio is set to have support for the long term post-launch.

CI Games confirmed that Sniper: Ghost Warrior would continue via a new partner studio that will work alongside Underdog.

CI is also planning on a new survival IP called Project Survive currently. It is being currently developed using Unreal Engine 5. The creative and project management team are collaborating with an external partner studio called Batfields, the Czech-based studio behind Dead Effect.

The company also declared its long-term goal to continue expanding its portfolio with new franchises. Back in August, CI Games announced Lords of the Fallen, a reboot of the dark fantasy action-RPG that originally released back in 2014.

Group CEO Marek Tyminski said in a statement that “over the last three years CI Games has gone through a major change, transitioning from a Polish centric operation to become a developer and publisher with a truly pan European management and team structure.

“With our evolved global strategy and roadmap focused on premium console and PC content we are ensuring continued success and future growth for the business. We look forward to further developing both new and existing IPs, while also diversifying our portfolio into other exciting areas of entertainment.”

Lords of the Fallen received a showcase during Gamescom 2022.
