Sniper Elite: Resistance Launch Date along with Crucial Details to Note
Sniper Elite: Resistance is about to hit shelves next year, and here's a rundown of everything you need to know about this highly-anticipated shooter.
Countdown to Launch
Get ready, because Sniper Elite: Resistance releases on January 30, 2025. If you can't wait that long, pre-order the Deluxe Edition to score early access starting from January 28.
Where to Play
This next installment in the Sniper Elite series will be available on multiple platforms. Grab it for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC.
For Xbox fans, there's an exclusive bonus - Sniper Elite: Resistance will be part of the Xbox Game Pass from day one. Usually, new games take months to join Game Pass, but not this time!
Say Hello to Harry Hawker
You'll be taking control of Harry Hawker, an agent from the Special Operations Executive (SOE). Hawker, who's been around since Sniper Elite 3, steps into the lead role for the first time.
World War II Setting
The action unfolds in France during World War II, with the game's story taking place concurrently with Sniper Elite 5, which was released in 2022.
Nazis, Wunderwaffe, and Missions
Hawker's mission in Sniper Elite: Resistance is to thwart the Nazis from creating a powerful weapon called the "Wunderwaffe". Players can opt for a solo adventure or team up with others in the campaign. Check out the reveal trailer here.
Authentic Sniping and Stealth
This series excels at capturing the essence of being a skilled sniper. Expect more intricate sniping mechanics and stealth elements, all within third-person combat that this franchise is renowned for.
The game won't push the console's graphics to the limit, but its gameplay, atmosphere, and focus on stealth and accuracy are what truly set it apart.
Propaganda Missions and Pre-Order Perks
Propaganda missions—special side jobs in the game—are completed by discovering propaganda posters scattered across various maps. During World War II, these posters played a significant role in shaping public opinion.
Pre-ordering Sniper Elite: Resistance grants you extra perks, such as a special bonus mission called Target Führer, unique weapon skins, and the Karabiner 98 Rifle. If you pick up the Deluxe Edition, you'll also get early access and additional goodies like the M1911 Pistol.
