Sniper Elite 5 Brings X-Ray Brutality Back To WWII

Rebellion announces that Sniper Elite 5 is coming to France next year. The series will still be set in World War II. In it, you play as super sniper Karl Fairburne, who is on a mission to take out high-ranking officers and find out the secret to something called Project Kraken. 

Karl’s journeys through French countrysides and cities will not be easy. He’ll need to use more than his sharpshooting skills in order to keep alive. Fairburne is well-equipped with a variety of weaponry, including rocket launchers and old-fashioned knives. The trailer’s debut shows this. You will also see the horrifying x-ray effects on the neck, which can cause massive internal explosions. 

Last night, keen-eyed viewers of The Game Awards might have spotted Sniper Elite 5 on the list of upcoming day one Game Pass releases. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2022.
