After an overwhelming response from PC gamers, Rebellion announce that they plan to self-fund a PC version of their upcoming sharpshooter sequel, Sniper Elite V2.

The shooter was originally destined for a console only release, now it will be coming to PC, and Rebellion say they’re determined to ensure that we won’t be getting a shoddy port. Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has stated that the PC version “will be built specifically for PC to take advantage of the more flexible and powerful hardware, with strong support directly from Rebellion.”

Sniper Elite V2 is the sequel to the 2005 tactical shooter, which asked players to perform stealth missions based on the backdrop of World War 2. From what little we know so far, the sequel looks to be staying true to these roots, directly continuing the franchise in the same time period as before. There is no set release date for the sequel yet, but more information is expected in the months to come.

While initially the game will only be available as a digital download through Steam, Rebellion are currently looking for possible partners to put out a retail release.

I agree.

What have Rebellion done recently?

AVP 2010 which was pap in my opinion.

If this game is a patch on the original I will eat my hat.

The game meachanics WILL be geared towards a controller and its associated buttons, this will suck. They are self publishing so do not have an endless pot of money so design choices will be limited to "whatever is cheapest".
 
If they balls this up I am going to be ******.

The first game was pretty good. Definitely the best sniping game I have played. Still better than the lamentable Sniper:Ghost Warrior despite being made years earlier.
 
Sniper Elite was an awesome game. Always hoped for a second one, the closest was sniper ghost warrior but that wasn't great.

Coming from the studio behind Aiens vs Predator, Sniper Elite V2 features a unique 'kill cam', which rewards a 'good' shot by getting as close as possible to the impact to show just how devastating a sniper's bullet can be. Pretty devastating it turns out.

505 president Ian Howe is tipping Sniper Elite V2 to be "the most brutally realistic military sharpshooter out there on the market" and, if it turns out anything like the trailer below, he could be right.

Following the bullet along its path, the cam eventually switches to slow motion X-ray detail to show its actual effects on the target's skeleton and organs.

The kill cam rewards good gameplay but is also built to "reinforce the chilling impact of the sniper on the battlefields of World War Two."

"We're really excited by the new teaser trailer for Sniper Elite V2," says Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley.

"It gives a sneak peek at the kind of action you can expect from the game, as well as the chance to see what makes it so unique.

"This is no 'run and gun' game and you have to be strategic, take your time and think problems through rather than go in all guns blazing - exactly what made the original Sniper Elite such a great game."

"The kill cam is both a big part of Sniper Elite's gameplay and a major technical challenge - recreating in exacting detail the effect of a bullet on the human body," added Rebellion CTO Chris Kingsley.

"This is just a glimpse for now, but we know fans of the original Sniper Elite will be thrilled to see we've taken what made Sniper Elite such a hit and built on it."

Yeahhhhh!!!!

Watched this today. Played the first Sniper Elite when I had LANS. Was so fun!!! Single player was great, but few things I would change. I'm sure they will have been changed for this game. But love getting the really far headshots.

 
"Rebellion are co-publishing the console version of Sniper Elite V2 with 505 Games, but they have decided to self-fund a PC version of the game because they didn't want to disappoint their fans with a console exclusive."

I like you Rebellion :)
