The game is set immediately after Sniper Elite 3 and once again you'll play as Karl Fairburne, this time fighting alongside the Italian Resistance in 1943 as they come up against a terrifying new threat.

If your mission fails, there would be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe. No pressure, then.

Sniper Elite 4 is the first in the series to be built purely for next-gen machines. It promises an expansive campaign for 1-2 players, as well as dedicated co-op and multiplayer modes home to "unrivalled sniping freedom across maps many times the size of those seen in Sniper Elite 3."

​Feast your eyes on the announcement trailer below.

As in earlier titles, ballistics will play a huge part. Wind strength and direction, as well as bullet drop, need to be accounted for in order to land precision shots.

The last two games in the series featured a particularly gruesome 'kill-cam' which would, upon skillful shots, follow the bullet’s trajectory in slow motion towards the unfortunate recipient, before showing you an anatomically correct x-ray of where the bullet hit. Needless to say people love it, us included, so it’ll no doubt be returning for the fourth installment.
