The latest entry in theSniper Elitefranchise —Sniper Elite 5— will officially launch this coming May on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Xbox Game Pass.

One bullet at a time.
Sniper Elite 5will feature a full story campaign, complete with co-op support, as a well as a range of multiplayer modes such as the sneaky Invasion Mode, which sees players pop up in each other’s campaigns to throw a few bullets into the works, and typical Multiplayer action, as players battle it out online to be the Last Sniper Standing… or laying.
Additionally, Rebellion has revealed details of the game’s season pass, which will offer access to a slew of post-launch content, including new weapons, character skins, weapon skins, and two additional campaign missions. Players who pre-orderSniper Elite 5will also receive access to the exclusive “Wolf Mountain” mission, which will pit your sniping skills against Hitler’s elite guard on a mission to take down the Fuhrer himself. Now they’ll never save your brain, Hitler.
