Sniper Elite V2 Remastered was originally unveiled last month in a livestream Rebellion held after the game leaked a few days prior.
Sniper Elite V2 launched back in 2012. We enjoyed it back then in our review calling it “A satisfying tactical shooter that takes you on a suspense-filled ride.” From that release, we then saw Rebellion build on the franchise releasing both Sniper Elite 3 and Sniper Elite 4 in 2014 and 2017 respectively.
Last year we saw Rebellion branch out and release Strange Brigade, a co-op third-person shooter. We thought it was a “flawed but entertaining game” in our review.
