Publisher 505 Games and developer Rebellion are bringing a long-awaited sequel to realization. Sniper Elite V2, a modern take on the original Sniper Elite — a third-person tactical World War II shooter for last generation consoles — will launch on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.
The first game was awarded the “Best PC/Console Game” at the TIGA Awards in 2005.
“It’s very exciting to be working with one of the new breed of major publishers like 505 Games,” said Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion. “Sniper Elite was an important, genre-defining property and we’re hoping to have even greater success by teaming up with the talented guys at 505.”
Chris Kingsley, CTO of Rebellion, added: “It’s fantastic for us to be involved in the world of Sniper Elite again. We look forward to winning even more awards with Sniper Elite V2 and wowing the consumers with what will be a great game.”
