The Sniper Elite series has built a steadily growing fanbase since its premiere in 2005. And for this fanbase, the responsible team at Rebellion has some very good news: Sniper Elite 5 is set to be released next year.

This time, the master marksman is taken to France, where he supports the resistance towards the end of World War II to stop the mysterious Operation Kraken. The maps players will explore are said to be the largest and most realistic in the series' history, based on real locations. Mechanically, in addition to the familiar stealth and sniper elements (including the infamous "Kill-Cam"), a new so-called "mobility system" will provide even more ways to eliminate targets. When things get tough, players can also attempt to take down high-ranking Nazi officers in cooperative mode.
