Sniper Elite 5 (May 26, 2022)

[ziggypossum]

 

Rebellion, one of the world’s most successful independent studios,

has revealed that its award-winning Sniper Elite franchise will return in 2022 with the release of Sniper Elite 5

 

Sniper Elite 5 will release on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 & 5, Epic, Steam, and Windows Store in 2022.

 

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.

 

Based upon real world locations from France in 1944 the new game maps are the largest and most immersive in the franchise’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.

 

Game Features:

Expansive Campaign – real-world locations have been captured using photogrammetry to recreate a living, immersive environment, and 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, with 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.

Sounds dope. I love this series. There ain’t nothing like putting a bullet into Hitler’s nuts and watching them pop in brutal slow motion on the X-ray kill cam.

[CowMoyoo]

Looks awesome but I kinda wish we got a new main character

[sephiroth4424]

Not a fun of shooters but this franchise is great. I hope it will have dlc involving Hitler

[Evil_Joker88]

Sniper Elite 4 was really good with it's open levels, much better as its predecessor. Sounds like the new game will go further in the right direction. Will play this in coop for sure.

[theSpirae]

Had fun with all the previous installments, will get it once it drops to 10$ or the Complete Edition for $15

[milanbarca82]

Loved the series but I would only buy the super duper ultimate ultra complete edition of the game.  Don't want to pay more for seemingly endless future dlcs just like what they did with Zombie Army 4.

SE4 was a really fun game. France was to be expected, I will most definitely play it.

[Dangisuckatgamin]

Loved the last couple of these I’ve played. The X-ray cams are awesome and never get tiresome! 
4 really made me happy with coop having kill cams in it! Seeing some of the shots my friend pulled off were awesome!

 

[NMErickson]

I hope we will be able to toggle the invasion mode drop-in gameplay on/off. Might be fun sometimes but other times might not be in the mood or have the time.

Haha I’m sure that goes for many of us. ? This series is really fun though! 
 

You’d expect that the novelty of the slow motion X-ray kills would kind of wear off quickly as a silly gimmick, but it remains quite satisfying through each of the games I’ve played so far, at least for me. My favourite sniping series!

[Feichti1992]

Please.... PLEASE!!! be good. I Loved 4, but most bigger games in the last 2 years weren´t good.

Everyone get ready to pony up for 3-5 season passes that cost $35 each (which also never go on sale by the way). Same trick they used for Zombie Army 4. Without respect, we reject.

Indeed. If/when they do that, I (and hopefully others) won't buy.

I bought this game on the psn store and all version said ps4 and ps5. Does that mean that 2 versions of the game with 2 trophy lists are included or do both versions share the same trophy list (like Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishment?

Trophy list 

[Cerber108]

Wow, already with DLC list? Will definitely take longer than SE4, but those damn online trophies again...

[Kcrack_Km]

Sweet, another Hitler testicle shot to add to my trophy cabinet.

 

Edit: at least there's no authentic+ no manual saves trophy.
