Rebellion promises advanced gunplay physics and traversal, in-depth customization, an enhanced kill cam, and a variety of multiplayer modes including an “invasion” option where players can secretly enter other users’ games and hunt them down.

Sniper Elite 5 was announced in 2019 alongside three other Sniper Elite titles but will be the first brand-new mainline instalment in more than five years.

Rebellion hasn’t shown much of the game so far, but has released a gameplay trailer, cinematic trailer, and now its release date reveal trailer.

In our 8/10 review of Sniper Elite 4, IGN said: “A lot of games tout the ability to ‘play how you want to play’, but [this game’s] missions and mechanics actually are robust enough to back up that claim. Picking apart the Nazi war machine piece by piece, using whatever plan comes to mind, is a blast.”
