Sniper Elite: Resistance is the sixth mainline entry in the acclaimed stealth-shooter series, taking players back to World War II-era Europe. Set in Nazi-occupied France and running parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5, players assume the role of a resistance fighter tasked with sabotaging enemy operations and aiding the Allies. With the series’ signature tactical sniping, players can engage in long-range precision shots, but also use stealth, traps, and guerrilla tactics to beat their enemies. Building on the mechanics from the previous games, Resistance refines its gameplay with a more open-world approach, improved AI, and new ways to interact with the environment.
