Today, Rebellion released an in-depth gameplay trailer for Sniper Elite: Resistance highlighting key features and modes from the upcoming game. The video is included above while further details are listed below.
The events of Sniper Elite: Resistance sit alongside the storyline of Sniper Elite 5. For the first time in the series, Harry Hawker takes the role of the lead protagonist. Like his comrade Karl Fairburne (star of the Sniper Elite franchise), Harry is an agent of the Special Operations Executive and an expert marksman. He has been sent deep undercover in occupied France where he fights alongside the Resistance and discovers an insidious new Wunderwaffe that would turn the tide of the war.
The game’s campaign is fully playable in both single-player and online co-op. Invasion Mode, a fan favorite introduced in Sniper Elite 5, returns allowing players to drop into each other’s game as enemy snipers to create a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. There are also a host of adversarial multiplayer options.
Brand new to the series is Propaganda Mode. Unlocked by discovering Propaganda posters hidden within the main Campaign, this new game mode lets you play as a Resistance fighter in thrilling quick-fire challenges against the clock.
As always with Sniper Elite, the game offers unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and tactical combat, and a wealth of weapon customization options, unlocked when you find workbenches hidden throughout the Campaign maps. Players can also expect huge agency on how to complete their mission, with optional Kill List targets, multiple infiltration and extraction points, and side missions.
I previewed Sniper Elite: Resistance last year and can confirm that fans are in for a treat when it drops later this month.
Sniper Elite: Resistance launches on January 30th, 2025 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Game Pass, and PC via Steam and Epic.
