- Sniper Elite 4 is coming to iPhone and iPad
- The hit World War Two sniping game is set to release this holiday season
- You play as Karl Fairburne, an elite SOE operative and expert marksman
With the arrival of games like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage and Resident Evil 8 to mobile, we always assumed that the sky was the limit. The only question was when we were going to start seeing games en-masse making the jump to mobile. Now it seems that Rebellion is the next to take the plunge as they bring their hit game Sniper Elite 4 to mobile.
Playing as elite SOE operative Karl Fairburne in Italy at the height of World War Two, you’re tasked with eliminating key Nazi targets and uncovering a new superweapon that may change the tide of the war. Along the way you’ll sneak through heavily-guarded compounds, work with partisans fighting to free their homeland and, of course, kill Nazis.
You’ll get to experience iconic mechanics like the x-ray kill-cam, use authentic historical weaponry and, of course, experience the series trademark long-range sniping.

Rebellion promises the game will be released sometime this holiday season, near the end of the year, and will of course be playable only on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPads with an M1 chip or greater.

In any case, in a few months, you’ll get the chance to decide for yourself when Sniper Elite 4 by Rebellion releases for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPad. Sniper Elite
