Think of yourself as an elite sniper? Rebellion are giving you the chance to hone your skills some more when they release Sniper Elite 4 early next year. Want to check out some of the latest screenshots?
Arriving on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on Feb 14th 2017, Sniper Elite 4 is the next entry in the award winning World War 2 shooter franchise. Whilst the original plan was to drop the game at the end of 2016, Rebellion have decided that something had to give and with Battlezone releasing on PS VR in October, decided it was Sniper Elite 4 which was the one to move.
Jason and Chris Kingsley, co-founders of Rebellion, explained the decision to release the studio’s marquee title in February:
“When we revealed Sniper Elite 4 back in March our plan was to release it at the end of 2016,” they explained, “However, we now know Battlezone will release in October as a launch title alongside PlayStation VR. That gave us a tough decision to make. Ultimately, we’re a relatively small independent studio, and releasing two major titles in the same quarter didn’t seem like a sensible thing to do. A few of our shared internal teams will probably sleep a bit easier now!”
“Launching Sniper Elite 4 in February gives us the opportunity to take a game that’s already received some of the best preview feedback we’ve ever had, and give it that extra bit of attention,” the Kingsley brothers affirmed, “We know a lot of you will be disappointed you won’t get to play Sniper Elite 4 this year, but we feel this decision will prove in the long run to be a win-win for both us and you, the fans.”
There will no doubt be further developments dropped regarding Sniper Elite 4 soon so keep an eye out and we’ll try and keep you fully updated. For now though, a few screenshots will have to make do.
