Here’s the official blurb:
In Sniper Elite: Resistance, Harry Hawker, agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), takes the lead role for the first time in the series as he discovers an insidious new Wunderwaffe – something so powerful, it guarantees the Nazis would win the war. This new standalone story runs in parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5 and turns the attention towards the hidden war, far from the front lines, deep within the heart of occupied France.
Resistance missions include optional Kill List targets, multiple infiltration and extractions points, and side missions. It also introduces Propaganda Missions, a brand-new style of side mission to the series. You locate a unique Propaganda poster in each of the main campaign’s levels to unlock a Propaganda Mission where you become a Resistance Fighter.
Sniper Elite: Resistance game features:
- Full length, standalone campaign playable in both single-player and co-op
- Authentic arsenal of World War 2 weaponry, featuring fan favorites as well as new additions
- Customize and upgrade weapons to fit your playstyle
- The trademark X-ray kill cam returns, showing you the true destructive power of each shot
- Engage in cat and mouse multiplayer in the fan favorite Invasion Mode
- Once you’ve set your scope, take things online with adversarial multiplayer
Sniper Elite: Resistance follows 2022’s Sniper Elite 5, which IGN scored 7/10. We said: “Sniper Elite 5 is still a satisfying and spectacularly gross way to shoot Nazis in their nether regions, but it feels like the series needs to start aiming its sights a little higher.”
