Sniper Elite 4 will land on February 14th, 2017 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Quite honestly, I think Rebellion could be well on their way to breaking into the big leagues here. So far, I feel that the tale of Sniper Elite 4 is all about delivering big budget quality many players expect of their open-world adventure games, particularly as Sniper Elite 4 stands in the company of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, and the upcoming Ghost Recon Wildlands, both of which have at least superficially similar gameplay. Even though it had solid core gameplay, Sniper Elite III always felt a little rough around the edges - this isn't the case in Sniper Elite 4. The visuals were stunning and detailed, the lighting and other effects were impressive, and the mechanics felt tight and very well-presented. The idea of an 'AAA' game is becoming increasingly outdated, but that is the best way to describe how Sniper Elite 4 felt to me. So far, it appears as though Rebellion could hit all of their targets to take the franchise to the next level. We'll be reviewing Sniper Elite 4 fully, but I've already played it quite extensively at both E3 and EGX in the UK. Sniper Elite 4 also has a Horde-like 4-player co-op mode, allowing teams to take on waves of increasingly difficult enemies in a battle for survival. Players will compete to out-snipe each other in a battle of wits, cunning, and patience. Sniper Elite 4 will also have a competitive multiplayer mode, taking place across six tailor-made maps inspired by the campaign.

There are also new safe zones where players can talk to NPCs to gain information between, and during missions. Sniper Elite 4 features double the dialogue of the previous game, with four times the amount of in-game text files that grant additional context to the story.

Story-focused campaign for 1-2 players.

More detailed and dynamic X-Ray kills will now be awarded for brutal melee take downs, in addition explosions and sniper shots. Combining new weapons with new traversal and stealth mechanics results in dozens of new ways to dispatch enemies.īoosted X-Ray kill cams for melee, explosions, and shooting! One of my favorite Sniper Elite features is returning in a big way. Grenades can be changed to 'sticky' mode, for example. Weapons have different types of ammunition, and every item on the weapon wheel now has at least two functions. Rebellion says it'll be much easier to traverse ledges, through windows, and climb buildings, in gameplay that more closely mimics the likes of Assassin's Creed. Maps are not only larger at a horizontal level, but they're also designed for verticality.

Each map is at least three times the size of the biggest level in Sniper Elite III, aiming to grant the player a huge amount of open-world freedom.

Campaign levels are far, far bigger than Sniper Elite III.
