OXFORD (Jan. 15, 2025) - Rebellion, one of the world's most successful independent video game developers and publishers, has today released a new trailer Sniper Elite: Resistance showcasing a number of the game’s key features and modes. With a new protagonist, enthralling campaign storyline and the all-new Propaganda Mode, this promises to be another thrilling entry in the Sniper Elite franchise.

The events of Sniper Elite: Resistance sit alongside the storyline of Sniper Elite 5. For the first time in the series, Harry Hawker takes the role as the lead protagonist. Like his comrade Karl Fairburne (star of the Sniper Elite franchise), Harry is an agent of the Special Operations Executive and an expert marksman. He has been sent deep under cover in occupied France where he fights alongside the Resistance and discovers an insidious new Wunderwaffe that would turn the tide of the war.
The game’s campaign is fully playable in both single player and online co-op. Invasion Mode, a fan favorite introduced in Sniper Elite 5, returns allowing players to drop into each other’s game as an enemy sniper to create a high stakes game of cat and mouse. There are also a host of adversarial multiplayer options.
Brand-new to the series is Propaganda Mode. Unlocked by discovering Propaganda posters hidden within the main Campaign, this new game mode lets you play as a Resistance fighter in thrilling quick fire challenges against the clock.
As always with Sniper Elite, the game offers unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and tactical combat as well as a wealth of weapon customization options, unlocked when you find workbenches hidden throughout the Campaign maps. Players can also expect huge agency on how to complete your mission, with optional Kill List targets, multiple infiltration and extraction points and side missions.
Releasing on Jan. 30, Sniper Elite: Resistance will be available on Game Pass on launch day and will be available both digitally and physically (with the boxed edition published by Fireshine Games) on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Rebellion has also announced the Sniper Elite: Resistance Deluxe Edition, which will include additional Season Pass content when that launches later in the year.
Snipers who pre-order Sniper Elite: Resistance will receive a bonus new Target Führer campaign mission, an additional weapon skin and the powerful Karabiner 98 Rifle. In addition to the bonuses included with the Standard Edition, pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition will also offer fans the classic M1911 Pistol and two days early access to the game.
