Since the long-awaited announcement of Sniper Elite 5, we have been blown away by the support we've received online. Whilst we'll endeavour to respond to as many of you as possible, there simply isn't a Command Centre in the world big enough to get back to you all! Sniper Elite HQ can however provide you with an additional piece of intel as an early Christmas gift, which should keep you going until the New Year.
One of the questions the Community has been asking most frequently is whether Rebellion's trademark X-ray kill cam will return in Sniper Elite 5. We're delighted to confirm that not only will it be making a comeback, but SMGs and pistols will now also trigger that oh-so satisfying slow motion recap. It will be more realistic and grisly than ever, so expect multiple bullet wounds and kill cams you'll want to brag about for weeks.
Check out this exclusive screenshot of the kill cam in action:
For added realism, your enemies' bones will deflect bullets unpredictably, ripping new paths through their varying body parts depending on the point of entry. Whilst we can't promise it will be pretty, we're confident the Sniper Elite Community will think it's a joy to behold when the time comes!

We appreciate your patience so far Snipers and we look forward to revealing more intel in the coming months so stay tuned in the usual places for more.
A very Merry Christmas from all of us in the Sniper Elite team!
Snipers, the time has come to return to the battlefield.
Launching simultaneously on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 & 5, Epic, Steam and Windows Store, Sniper Elite 5 will see elite marksman, Karl Fairburne, travel to France in 1944 to destroy Operation Kraken.
Including all in-game engine footage, take a sneak peak of what's to come in Sniper Elite 5's reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVPeSJSkopk As part of a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany, Karl makes contact with the French Resistance. Soon they uncover a secret Nazi project that threatens to end the war before the Allies can even invade Europe: Operation Kraken. It’s Karl’s mission to take out the high ranking Nazi officers and end Operation Kraken once and for all.
Based upon real world locations from France in 1944 the new game maps are the largest and most immersive in Sniper Elite's history with the new traversal system offering players an even greater sandbox of options when it comes to taking out their targets. You can even invite a friend to help you on your mission with enhanced co-operative gameplay options.
Sniper Elite 5 continues the franchise’s unparalleled tactical sniping experience complete with incredible ballistics and enhanced kill cam taking the genre-defining feature to the next level. New customisation options allow you to adjust your rifle, other weapons and ammo to suit the mission and your play style.
Grab your scopes and prepare to experience:
Expansive Campaign – real-world locations have been captured using photogrammetry to recreate a living, immersive environment, and multiple infiltration and extraction points and kill list targets provide a whole new perspective on each mission. Take on the Nazi plot solo or work with a partner, with improved co-op mechanics allowing you to share ammo and items, give orders and heal each other.
Advanced gunplay physics and traversal – use ziplines, slide down slopes and shimmy along ledges to reach the perfect vantage point, or to sneak past a sharp-eyed lookout. Factor in rifle stock and barrel options along with gravity, wind and heart rate while you line up your sights on the target.
High calibre customisation – use workbenches to customise and upgrade virtually every aspect of your weapon. Change scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines and more. Rifles, secondary weapons, and pistols all have a huge variety of options. On top of that you can select the ammo to suit your target, from armour-piercing right down to non-lethal.
Invasion mode drop-in PVP – you can invade another player’s Campaign as an Axis sniper and engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse, providing a new dimension to the challenge as you stalk your prey. Alternatively, as Karl you can call for assistance and have a second sniper drop in to help you out of a tricky situation.
Tense adversarial multiplayer – customise your character and loadout and earn XP, medals and ribbons as you take on intensely competitive 16 player battles that will really test your sharpshooting skills. If co-op’s more your style, you can team up with up to 3 other players against waves of enemies in Survival mode.
Enhanced kill cam – more realistic and grisly than ever, the trademark X-ray kill cam returns, showing you the true destructive power of each shot. Bones deflect bullets unpredictably, ripping a new path through enemy bodies. SMGs and pistols can also trigger kill cams, including multiple shots in dramatic slow motion.
For over 16 years, our dedicated Sniper Elite community has ensured Karl's mission remains ongoing.
Thank you for the support so far Snipers and stay tuned for more Sniper Elite 5 news in 2022!

It’s 1943 and something is moving in the darkness. Direct from Rebellion, makers of the hit video game series, comes a stealth action board game of pushing your luck and predicting your enemy.
One player takes the role of allied sniper Karl Fairburne, while up to three other players control squads of German soldiers trying to strike a balance between defending their base and hunting Karl down. The sniper player will keep Karl’s location secret from the other players by tracking their movement on their secret hidden board.
The defenders will have to use a mix of tactical planning and careful insight to track the sniper's movements and outwit their bluffs; using their miniatures to block paths, guard vulnerable areas, and move in for the kill.
