Seemingly based on a spinoff comic book series, now turned into a video game, we play as Harry Hawker, an agent of the Special Operations Executive. He’s a new leader that investigates a new Wunderwaffe, a new weapon that “guarantees the Nazis will win the war,” according to thetrailer’s description on YouTube. We’ll be delving into a dangerous, occupied France in this standalone campaign that takes place parallel to the narrative of Sniper Elite 5.
Developer and publisherRebellionis promising advanced gunplay physics, new propaganda missions, “authentic World War II weapons and customization,” and the return of the Invasion Mode. It will also feature online multiplayer.
The comic book series this game seems to be based on has been well-received by fans onAmazon. It currently has a 4.4 out of five star rating and was released back in 2018.
