October 21st 2024

Attention snipers!

Intel has been intercepted and we are excited to announce that Sniper Elite: Resistance will launch on January 30th 2025 and is now available to pre-order. Sniper Elite: Resistance is coming day one to Game Pass and will be available both digitally and physically (with the boxed edition published by Fireshine Games) on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Windows PC and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Further intel has also revealed the Sniper Elite: Resistance Deluxe Edition, which will include additional Season Pass content when that launches later in the year.

Skilled sharpshooters who pre-order Sniper Elite: Resistance receive a bonus new Target Führer campaign mission, an additional weapon skin, and the powerful Karabiner 98 Rifle. In addition to the bonuses included with the Standard Edition, pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition will also offer the classic M1911 Pistol and two days early access to the game.

PC/Steam users who pre-order either the Standard or Deluxe Edition direct from the Rebellion Shop will also receive a free exclusive Sniper Elite Camo T-Shirt and two free digital comics.

In Sniper Elite: Resistance, Harry Hawker, agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), takes the lead role for the first time in the series as he discovers an insidious new Wunderwaffe - something so powerful, it guarantees the Nazis would win the war. This new standalone story runs parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5 and turns the attention towards the hidden war, far from the front lines, deep within the heart of occupied France.

As you would expect from Sniper Elite, the game offers unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and tactical third-person combat. You can also expect huge agency on how to complete your mission, with optional Kill List targets, multiple infiltration and extractions points, and side missions. Sniper Elite Resistance also introduces Propaganda Missions, a brand-new style of side mission to the series. Locate a unique Propaganda poster in each of the main campaign’s levels to unlock a Propaganda Mission where you become a Resistance Fighter.

Game features:

  • Full length, standalone campaign playable in both single-player and co-op
  • Authentic arsenal of World War II weaponry, featuring fan favourites as well as new additions
  • Customise and upgrade weapons to fit your playstyle
  • The trademark X-ray kill cam returns, showing you the true destructive power of each shot
  • Engage in cat and mouse multiplayer in the fan favourite Invasion mode
  • Once you’ve set your scope, take things online with adversarial multiplayer
