But I’d ask the question – what are you doing here, then? It’s a bit gory and graphic, so look away if that’s not your cup of tea. Today’s announcement comes with a brand new trailer showing series hero Karl Fairburne doing what he does best. The great news for Xbox players is that Sniper Elite 5 will be available via Xbox Game Pass on release day, meaning if you’re a subscriber to Microsoft’s service, you won’t have to pay any extra to blow holes in Nazi skulls. Or, of course, you can purchase a copy directly from the appropriate digital storefront of you choice.Rebellion has announced that Sniper Elite 5 will be releasing on May 26th, 2022 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. You can pre-order your copy directly from the Sniper Elite website for a bevy of pre-order crap (including, somewhat frustratingly, extra missions), if you should so please. I for one can’t wait to see what Rebellion has in store for Karl this time around, and specifically what theater of World War II we will be slo-mo skull-blasting our ways through this time around. That’s right, Sniper Elite 5 will be locking and loading on May 26, 2022, for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. And thankfully, Rebellion has a release date for the game, and it’s only about a month and a half away.

So when I heard there would indeed be a Sniper Elite 5, I found myself once again looking forward to going behind enemy lines and spraying pink mist all over Europe. It reminded me of the halcyon days of Hitman 2 (2002), and it felt like Karl Fairburne was back in peak Nazi-killing form. I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised with the game as a whole, plugging a number of hours into each level and trying to get that perfect run. When Sniper Elite 4 released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2017, I could feel my trigger finger getting itchy, so I just had to fire that one off. I skipped the third game outright, as it didn’t seem like they were returning to the design of the more sandboxy first installment, although I have often thought about finally giving it a shot. Sniper Elite 2 seemed to be designed around a more focused, almost corridor-style approach to open-world maps, but for the most part it was still pretty fun. It was a muddy, ugly game at times, but the actual sniping and stealth mechanics were pretty cool, and unlike anything else I had really played at the time. I have been a fan of the Sniper Elite series since I played the very first installment on the PlayStation 2.
