Mob Digital has collaborated with Realtime:UK to help create tension in the lead up to the launch of the second installment in City Interactive’s Sniper series.

This marks a significant step for Mob Digital, a brand new offering from the Mob group of companies, which will formally launch to the world next week. Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 strengthens the existing portfolio of digital work which includes Need For Speed for EA Games, Sony PSP, Russell Hobbs, and Volkswagen.

The trailer employs a blend of live action and CGI to deliberately blur the lines between what is real and augmented.

Chris Gaffey, creator and director, said: “My approach was to distill the essence of the game and dramatise Ghost Warrior 2 as a high tension duel between two, almost invisible Ghost Warriors, with an explosive conclusion.

“We decided early on that camouflaged Ghillie suits in a subtropical forest would provide the perfect demonstration of how a sniper and his spotter need to use instinct, stealth, composure and patience to survive and succeed.

“Accuracy and authenticity was critical to the success of the assignment. Together with Realtime:UK we worked hard to ensure every detail was considered in pre production.

“The identity of our shooting location and our cast has to remain secret, but I can tell you it was hot and wet; the snipers are ex-military personnel; and all the kit and weapons we used in filming - AMX .50 , Nemesis .50, the handguns and Assault Rifles- are accurate to the game itself and real-life field operations.”
