NERO, or Nero: The Sniper is a Sri Lankan stealth-action third-person shooter video game released in 2021.[1][2][3]
Development[]
NERO is Sri Lankan game developed by Arimac Lanka. NERO is the second game developed by Arimac Lanka, released five years after the development of its first game, Canchayudha.[4] The game's budget was $18,000. According to its developer, the game will have a multiplayer version for mobile, and will include in-app purchases.[1]
It was titled NERO to pay tribute to Sri Lankan Sniper hero Ranjith Premasiri Madalana, who was known as "NERO" in the period of Eelam war, in which he had 217 confirmed Tamil Tiger kills. Despite its name, the game has not included events from the civil war.

NERO is a stealth-action third-person shooter game.

When the player takes damage, the screen will show blood splatters. When the character dies, the screen turns black and restarts from a checkpoint. As the player progresses, new checkpoints are saved automatically.
Release[]
The early access was released on 26 September 2021 by Arimac developers.[1] The game has taken three years to develop, starting from 2018.[5][6][7][8][9]
