Highlight: Sniper Elite: Resistance
Sniper Elite returns with Resistance – and of course the legendary kill cam.
- Genre: Third-Person-Shooter
- Who: PC und Ultimate
- Release: 30 January 2025
In Sniper Elite: Resistance you fight alongside the French Resistance during the Second World War and face the National Socialists.
As is typical for the series, you control a sniper in third-person view, with whom you infiltrate enemy camps and complete various missions. Of course, the legendary kill cam is also included again as well as the co-op mode for the entire campaign.
The story runs parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5. Special Operations Executive agent Harry Hawker discovers a powerful secret weapon that would guarantee victory for the Nazis. Your job is to destroy it before it falls into the wrong hands.
