Publisher Sold Out has announced it has secured the console rights to the physical release of Rebellion’s WWII sniper title, Sniper Elite 4. Sniper Elite 4 will be released in both boxed and digital formats during Q3 2016 – at a price point of $59.99.
CEO of Sold Out, Garry Williams said, “It is great to see that British software and development is not only alive and well, but through Rebellion’s efforts, actually flourishing. Sold Out is delighted to be the harbour master for Rebellion’s boxed console journey.”
Co-founder and CEO of Rebellion, Jason Kingsley added, “We’re extremely excited to be working alongside Sold Out again after the huge success of Zombie Army Trilogy, and this way we can produce the most successful Sniper Elite game to date, not only digitally, but also at retail.”
Welcome to Italy, 1943
Set in the aftermath of its award-winning predecessor, Sniper Elite 4 continues the series’ World War Two heritage by transporting players across the beautiful Italian peninsula, from sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal towns, to colossal Nazi mega structures, daunting forests and giddying mountain monasteries inspired by Monte Cassino.
Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne must fight alongside the brave men and women of the Italian Resistance to help free their country from the yoke of Fascism, and defeat a terrifying new threat with the potential to halt the Allied fightback in Europe before it’s even begun.
If his mission fails, there will be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe.
Sniper Elite is a tactical shooter series developed by British studio Rebellion Developments and published by 505 Games. It emphasizes a strategic approach to combat, as the player acts as a sniper to use stealth and keep distance from enemy soldiers. Sniper Elite was released in 2005, and was followed by Sniper Elite V2, a remake of the original Sniper Elite in 2012. Sniper Elite III came out in 2014 – our own Patrick Anderson reviewed it, check out his write-up here.
