Rebellion has announced Sniper Elite 5, and boy, I can’t wait!
I am a big fan of the Sniper Elite series of games. This will be the first that has been released since the launch of the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles, so I am looking forward to seeing what Rebellion can do with all the power at their hands. The good news is that Sniper Elite 5 will release on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and, it will also launch on to Xbox Game Pass.
Get Your Coat, We’re Going To France.
Players will again play as Karl Fairburne and will explore real-life locations from 1944 in France. We’re told that Sniper Elite 5 will contain the largest and most immersive locations in the history of the franchise.
Here are some screenshots that Rebellion has put online also.



We have learned about the key features of the game via a press release from Rebellion.
Expansive Campaign – real-world locations have been captured using photogrammetry to recreate a living, immersive environment. Multiple infiltration and extraction points and kill list targets provide a whole new perspective on each mission. Take on the Nazi plot solo or work with a partner. Improved co-op mechanics allowing you to share ammo and items, give orders and heal each other.
Advanced gunplay physics and traversal – use ziplines, slide down slopes and shimmy along ledges to reach the perfect vantage point, or to sneak past a sharp-eyed lookout. Factor in rifle stock and barrel options along with gravity, wind and heart rate while you line up your sights on the target.
High calibre customisation – use workbenches to customise and upgrade virtually every aspect of your weapon. Change scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines and more. Rifles, secondary weapons, and pistols all have a huge variety of options. On top of that you can select the ammo to suit your target, from armour-piercing right down to non-lethal.
Invasion mode drop-in PVP – you can 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.
Tense adversarial multiplayer – customise your character and loadout and earn XP, medals and ribbons as you take on intensely competitive 16 player battles that will really test your sharpshooting skills. If co-op’s more your style, you can team up with up to 3 other players against waves of enemies in Survival mode.
Enhanced kill cam – more realistic and grisly than ever, the trademark X-ray kill cam returns. Showing you the true destructive power of each shot. Bones deflect bullets unpredictably, ripping a new path through enemy bodies. SMGs and pistols can also trigger kill cams, including multiple shots in dramatic slow motion.
Rebellion has said that Sniper Elite 5 will release in 2022. I am already excited about the launch of this game. In fact, I may have to fire up Sniper Elite 4 on the PlayStation soon.
