Running parallel to the story of Sniper Elite 5 will be a cross-generational game from Rebellion, and we already know that it will be available through one of their subscription services.
Sniper Elite: Resistance tells a gripping new standalone story that runs parallel to Sniper Elite 5. For the first time in the series, Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent Harry Hawker takes center stage as he discovers an insidious new wonder weapon – something so powerful it guarantees the Nazis will win the war. Featuring the unparalleled sniper mechanics, stealth and tactical third-person combat you have come to expect from the franchise, Sniper Elite: Resistance focuses on the hidden war, far from the front lines, deep in the heart of occupied France.
Kill list targets, multiple infiltration and extraction points, and side missions give players agency in how they accomplish their objective. Other game features players will enjoy include a full-length, stand-alone campaign, available in both single-player and cooperative play, and an authentic arsenal of WWII weapons, featuring fan favorites as well as new additions. Customize and upgrade weapons to overcome challenges and suit your play style. The trademark X-ray kill cam returns to show you the true destructive power of each shot. Engage in cat-and-mouse multiplayer in the fan-favorite Invasion mode. Once you’ve set your scope, take things online with adversarial multiplayer.
Propaganda Missions are a brand new type of side mission for the series. Find a unique propaganda poster in each of the main campaign levels to unlock a Propaganda Mission where you become a resistance fighter. With time-sensitive objectives, players must sneak, snipe and shoot, taking out enemies under certain conditions to complete their mission.
Sniper Elite: Resistance will be released in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. They prefer to use Denuvo (which they don’t even take off), so extra copy protection comes as a hump for PC players. It will also be included in Xbox Game Pass.
