Rebellion has released an update for Sniper Elite 5, adding a slew of new weapons, and a mission inspired by The Guns of Navarone.

And who wouldn’t want to play a mission inspired by a Gregory Peck film? Check out the trailer for the update below:

The description reads:

“Deploy to the South of France where enemy forces have commandeered an island off the coast of Marseille to house a gargantuan gun battery. . . . To aid in your mission you will be able to equip a new stealthy D.L. Carbine rifle and powerful PPSH Submachine gun.

“The D.L. Carbine fires a slow-moving round that doesn’t break the sound barrier, this combined with its large integral suppressor, makes for an excellent covert rifle – ideal for silently neutralising your enemy. Meanwhile the PPSH’s high rate of fire and large magazine offer tremendous sustained firepower that will be devastating during close-quarters combat.”

This all sounds delicious, obviously, partly because of its link to the work of Gregory Peck. And, if you haven’t yet played Sniper Elite 5, I would strongly urge you to rectify the oversight.

Writing about the charms of the new game, I said:

“If Sniper Elite 5 is the best one yet, it isn’t because of any great strides. It’s down to Rebellion’s knack for taking after its star—never faltering in its aim, keeping its mechanics polished and oiled.”
