This time, however, Hawker is the star in a storyline set alongside the events of Sniper Elite 5.We expect plenty of x-ray views of skulls exploding, and there is a very high chance of getting to shoot Hitler in his one testicle, if this game is faithful to both history and its series. Multiplayer modes, including the asymmetrical PvP mode, Invasion, will also return to the game. Sniper Elite: Resistance is the latest in a long line of third-person stealth-shooter games that dates back to 2005.

It will also launch straight into Xbox Game Pass when it arrives.…
