Developer Rebellion has today teased its upcoming sequel Sniper Elite 5 with a new cinematic trailer that both highlights its WW2 French setting and the addition of an all-new game mode called Invasion.
Here’s how Rebellion tees up the mode via its Steam page:
Invade another player’s Campaign as an Axis sniper and engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse, providing a new dimension to the challenge as you stalk your prey. Alternatively, as Karl you can call for assistance and have a second sniper drop in to help you out of a tricky situation.
For those not up to speed with Sniper Elite 5, here’s its description:
The latest installment in the award-winning series, Sniper Elite 5 offers unparalleled sniping, tactical third-person combat and an enhanced kill cam. Fight your way across the most immersive maps yet, with many real-world locations captured in stunning detail, and an improved traversal system that lets you explore more of them than ever before.
France, 1944 – As part of a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany, elite marksman Karl Fairburne 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.
For those who haven’t yet played Sniper Elite 4, the game received a free next-generation patch last year that is well worth checking out if you own a PS5/Xbox Series X|S.
