Promotional image for Sniper Elite: Resistance, showing a release date of January 30th, 2025. The image features three editions: Base Game, Standard Edition, and Deluxe Edition, each with unique content such as a season pass, pre-order bonus targets, and specific weapons. The graphic shows Harry Hawker in combat gear aiming a sniper rifle on the left side. Text encourages pre-ordering now.

Players who pre-order Sniper Elite: Resistance receive a bonus new Target Führer campaign mission, an additional weapon skin, and the powerful Karabiner 98 Rifle. In addition to the bonuses included with the Standard Edition, pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition will also offer fans the classic M1911 Pistol and two days early access to the game.

Harry Hawker slides down a zipline toward a wire bridge made out of steel and concrete. Lights illuminate from the top of the pillars on the bridge. A town can be seen in the distance.

In Sniper Elite: Resistance, Harry Hawker, agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), takes the lead role for the first time in the series as he discovers an insidious new Wunderwaffe – something so powerful, it guarantees the Nazis would win the war. This new standalone story runs parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5 and turns the attention towards the hidden war, far from the front lines, deep within the heart of occupied France.

As players might expect from the Sniper Elite franchise, the game offers unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and tactical third-person combat. Players can also expect huge agency on how to complete your mission, with optional Kill List targets, multiple infiltration and extractions points, and side missions. Sniper Elite Resistance also introduces Propaganda Missions, a brand-new style of side mission to the series. Locate a unique Propaganda poster in each of the main campaign’s levels to unlock a Propaganda Mission where you become a Resistance Fighter.

Harry Hawker shoots from the top of a large concrete dam. Axis soldiers run toward him. In the distance the glint from the scope of a rifle can be visible.
