Sniper Elite: Resistance Has a Release Date; See the Trailer Here!

Rebellion, the publishers of the Sniper Elite series, and one of the most successful independent videogame developers and publishers, are pleased to announce the release date of Sniper Elite: Resistance.

With a new release date trailer released, fans of the series will be pleasantly surprised that the new game will focus on Harry Hawker, an agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) as he discovers a new Wunderwaffe, something so powerful that it could guarantee the victory of the Nazis. As a standalone story, it will run parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5, and will turn your focus away from the front lines to the heart of occupied France.

Naturally, Sniper Elite: Resistance will include the unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth, and tactical third-person combat which we've come to expect from the series. You'll also have agency on how to complete each mission, choosing from targets on your kill list, infiltration and extraction points, and side missions. But that's not all, as it will feature a new type of mission: Propaganda Mission. All you need to do is locate a Propaganda poster in the campaign levels, where you can unlock the mission and become a real Resistance Fighter.

You can complete the campaign alone or with a friend in co-op, and battle with authentic World War II weaponry. Naturally, you can customise and upgrade your weapons as you see fit, and of course, see the gory deaths of your enemies through the X-ray kill cam. Of course, if you don't want to play co-op with your friends, you can always go against them in Invasion mode, and challenge each other in adversarial multiplayer online.

Rebellion has revealed that they will also sell a deluxe edition, with an additional Season Pass which will launch later in the year. If you pre-order Sniper Elite: Resistance, you'll receive the bonus new Target Führer campaign mission, the Karabiner 98 Rifle, and an additional weapon skin. Fans who pre-order the deluxe edition will have all these bonuses, and the classic M1911 Pistol, and two days of early access to start up the Resistance's plans.

Sniper Elite: Resistance will be available on 30th January, 2025, coming Day One to Xbox Game Pass. It will also be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. And don't worry, there will be a physical edition as well as a digital one.
