Sniper Elite: Resistance Gets New Gameplay Overview Trailer Ahead of Launch

gamingbolt.com:

Developer Rebellion has released a new trailer for upcoming shooter Sniper Elite: Resistance which focuses on providing a general overplay of the title’s gameplay, including for things like key features and mission details. Check out the trailer below.

Players will step into the shoes of new protagonist Harry Hawker, with the trailer describing him as being a seasoned combatant and a relentless freedom fighter. Hawker takes the lead this time around because traditional series protagonist Fairburne is still deployed in France, since the game’s story takes place concurrently with the events of Sniper Elite 5.

Hawker’s mission will also take place in France, but behind enemy lines. The game will revolve around Hawker establish contact with the French resistance, and players will have to work to help the resistance in driving out the Nazi presence in the area. Along the way, Hawker will also have to help stop the development of a sinister new weapon that is being created by the Nazi forces.

Much like previous Sniper Elite titles, Sniper Elite: Resistance will have its core boots on the ground gameplay revolve around stealth. Players will have to sneak around occupying Nazi forces and explore era-appropriate buildings and structures inspired by real-world buildings that were created thanks to advanced photogrammetry.

Along with skulking around on the ground, Hawker can also make use of his parkour skills to navigate difficult terrain, and even climb up buildings by making use of structures like pipes, allowing him new ways of sneaking in and around buildings that might otherwise have only one or two obvious entrances at ground level.

Sniper Elite: Resistance also marks a return for the franchise’s popular X-ray killcam, which allows players to look at the internal damage caused by their sniper bullets in all their gory detail. The trailer states that the feature will be present in Resistance in its most advanced form yet, having seen numerous updates since the feature
