Sniper Elite 5 Release Date Announced in a New Trailer Full of Guns and Nazis

Sniper Elite 5 has received a bombastic new trailer, alongside the announcement of a May release date.

The new trailer, which you can check out for yourself down below, gives us a taste of the story of Sniper Elite 5, as well as the characters you'll meet along the way. You'll play as Karl Fairburne, an elite marksman who uncovers Operation Kraken, a secret Nazi plot which could turn the tide of the war. Your job is to thwart this plot, gathering intelligence, and putting a stop to Obergruppenführer Abelard Möller, the mastermind behind Operation Kraken.

Rebellion has also announced Sniper Elite 5 players who pre-order the game will get access to the latest mission in the fan-favourite Target Führer campaign, titled Wolf Mountain. In Sniper Elite 5, this will see players attempting to infiltrate Adolf Hitler's private mountain retreat in the Alps, with heavily armed personal guards to content with, as well as collectibles to hunt. And obviously, most importantly, you'll be tasked with taking out Hitler in the most creative way possible.

Sniper Elite 5 launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on 26th May 2022.
