Rebellion just came out announcing that we are going to see Sniper Elite 4 this year. In Sniper Elite 3 we sneaked around in Africa taking out the Nazis and sabotaging facilities enabling the Allied forces kick the Afrika Korps out of the continent. The latest entry is going to follow up right where SE3 ended and continue the fight in 1943’s Italy. It is yet to be seen if we take part in Operation Husky, where Allies took Sicily, the first major step into Europe and a first step to invasion of Italy, or any of the operations that actually were the Invasions of Italy itself but I think that it’s a given that we will participate at least in one.

The press release doesn’t provide a lot of information besides that it will be a “next-gen” title and an aim to deliver on extra computing power. That should benefit PC’s the most as we are oftentimes help back by the lowest common denominator. The reveal trailer and provided screenshots look really good with high fidelity visuals, high resolution textures and detailed environments but we will see what the game really has to offer later in the year.

What seemed to be strange though is that there was no word on the X-ray cam. Sniper Elite V2 introduced us to the concept and Sniper Elite 3 took it one step further having and X-ray on a well-placed shots on vehicles. It wouldn’t be unexpected to think and hope that Rebellion will one up it in SE4 again but saying that it will be back is a no brainer as it was a huge selling point.

More details will obviously trickle down over the coming weeks and months and we will eventually get to play the game ourselves later in the year. But for now please enjoy the provided media material as well as the press release below.
