Based upon real world locations from France in 1944 the new game maps are the largest and most immersive in Sniper Elite’s history with the new traversal system offering players an even greater sandbox of options when it comes to taking out their targets. You can even invite a friend to help you on your mission with enhanced co-operative gameplay options.
