It’s not always about the sniping you know.

Rebellion were presumably just finalizing some final details on Sniper Elite before delivering the final date. Given how volatile the gaming industry is right now, there’s always the potential for it to be pushed back.

Sniper Elite 5 trailers

The game was announced on December 10, 2021, with a reveal trailer to get fans and newcomers excited.

It wasn’t too long before hopeful patrons had more Sniper Elite 5 content. On January 25, 2022, Rebellion followed up the original debut trailer with a far more narrative-heavy video that also teased some potential new features.

Along with the game’s official release date, Rebellion treated fans to some more footage of the game on March 17, 2022, showing off Operation Kraken.

Sniper Elite 5 gameplay

The footage released so far looks to be a lot more of what Sniper Elite fans love about the series – especially the cinematic journey of a bullet going through someone’s unwitting skull. There’s also more of finding the right spot to execute some gnarly sniper kills, the perfect recipe of stealth and close-combat action, and maybe a new invasion element?

Sniper Elite 5’s cinematic trailer concluded with the tease of a new feature that could see online players hunt you down Dark Souls style. It seemed very Deathloop-like in its suggestion, and the variation could prove to be a winning formula for the game.

Sniper Elite 5 platforms

Both trailers make sure to point out that Sniper Elite 5 will be available for players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

There is no word of the game coming to the Nintendo Switch platform as yet, but things can always change between now and release.
