Sniper Elite 4 Joins The Italian Resistance

After shootin', stealthin' and stabbin' his way through the deserts and oases of North Africa, dour series protagonist Karl Fairburne is back once more to shoot, stealth and stab his way through fascist occupied Italy.

The first story trailer for Sniper Elite 4 was released this week, and it presents an SOE briefing about the purpose of Karl's mission's in Italy, including a nice connection about where this game fits in regards to the previous ones. The answer is "after V2 and 3", if that wasn't completely obvious by the numbering due to today's penchant for prequels.

Anyway, if you're interested in the story and background of the game as opposed to just shooting Nazis in the balls, give the trailer above a watch.

Sniper Elite 4 launches across PS4, Xbox One, and PC on 14th February 2017.

We're looking forward to it, are you? Let us know in the comments below.
