In the past year, Sniper Elite team Rebellion remains busy with multiple projects, releases, and updates that shipped. Back in July, Sniper Elite VR hit virtual reality storefronts delivering an authentic experience to the peripheral. “Sniper Elite VR is a nice shooter and worthy of the series it came from. Maybe we will see a sequel of some sort, because as a first shot, this VR experience has far more ups than downs,” critic David Rodriguez puts for the game.
Additionally, we went on to witness 2017’s Sniper Elite 4 launch a native update for Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles. As you can guess, smoother performance is spread about with an improved resolution and split loading times. Not only that, but Rebellion also launched a collaborative update for Zombie Army 4: Dead War which bridges the game with Left 4 Dead as well.
At The Game Awards, Microsoft teased that Sniper Elite 5 would be a new candidate for PC Game Pass and of course the greater Xbox Game Pass on console. Following, Rebellion officially unveiled the title. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:
“As part of a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany, Karl makes contact with the French Resistance. Soon they uncover a secret Nazi project that threatens to end the war before the Allies can even invade Europe: Operation Kraken. It’s Karl’s mission to take out the high ranking Nazi officers and end Operation Kraken once and for all.
Rebellion continues, “Based upon real world locations from France in 1944 the new game maps are the largest and most immersive in Sniper Elite’s history with the new traversal system offering players an even greater sandbox of options when it comes to taking out their targets. You can even invite a friend to help you on your mission with enhanced co-operative gameplay options.
“Sniper Elite 5 continues the franchise’s unparalleled tactical sniping experience complete with incredible ballistics and enhanced kill cam taking the genre-defining feature to the next level. New customisation options allow you to adjust your rifle, other weapons and ammo to suit the mission and your play style.”
