Sniper Elite 4 combines genre-defining ballistics, breathless emergent stealth, and gripping third person action across the largest and most diverse environments ever seen in a Sniper Elite game. Set in the aftermath of its award-winning predecessor, Sniper Elite 4 continues the series’ World War Two heritage by transporting players across the beautiful Italian peninsula, from sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal towns, to colossal Nazi mega structures, daunting forests and giddying mountain monasteries inspired by Monte Cassino. Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne must fight alongside the brave men and women of the Italian Resistance to help free their country from the yoke of Fascism, and defeat a terrifying new threat with the potential to halt the Allied fightback in Europe before it’s even begun. If his mission fails, there will be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe.

Storyline
Set in Italy in 1943, Sniper Elite 4 continues the wartime exploits of SOE marksman Karl Fairburne in the immediate aftermath of his earlier campaign. When rumors surface of a fearsome new Nazi weapon, a radio-guided anti-ship missile capable of sinking vessels from afar, the Royal Navy dispatches a freighter to the island of San Celini to investigate, only for it to be destroyed by the very device it sought to uncover. Fairburne is sent in to the island to strike back, tasked with assassinating the German officers who oversaw the attack and gathering intelligence on the shadowy general behind the project. His mission soon widens beyond a single killing, drawing him into the wider struggle against the Axis occupation. Seeking allies, he makes contact with the local Partisan resistance and its wary leader, who demands he prove his worth before joining forces. From coastal fortresses to inland villages, Fairburne must dismantle the Nazi weapons program one precise shot at a time.Read more
