If you enjoy sniping Nazis, you’ll probably be pleased to hear that Sniper Elite 5 pre-orders are now available. The Sniper Elite series has been entertaining gamers with its stealth shooter gameplay since 2005, and despite its name, this will actually be the tenth instalment in the series.
So what do you need to know before you get your Sniper Elite 5 pre-orders? Well, while previous games in the series have sometimes gone for the FPS genre, this one gives you a third-person perspective, bringing the game back to its roots. Meanwhile, the scenarios you face are designed so that you can approach them in different ways depending on your preference. It encourages you to think outside the box, and its smart enemy AI makes everything feel more challenging, and more rewarding.
There are also a couple of different versions of the game, and we’ve got an overview of them both, to help you decide which one will be best for you. Each version comes with its own selection of pre-order bonuses.
Here are the two different editions of Sniper Elite 5:
