The release date of Sniper Elite 4 has been pushed back a bit until February 14, 2017. The fourth main installment in the series will be out on that date for the PS4, PC, and XB1.Jason and Chris Kingsley, co-founders of Rebellion, explained the decision to release the studio’s marquee title in February:
“When we revealed Sniper Elite 4 back in March our plan was to release it at the end of 2016,” they explained, “However, we now know Battlezone will release in October as a launch title alongside PlayStation VR. That gave us a tough decision to make. Ultimately, we’re a relatively small independent studio, and releasing two major titles in the same quarter didn’t seem like a sensible thing to do. A few of our shared internal teams will probably sleep a bit easier now!”
While this does mean players will have to wait just a little longer to get their hands on the title, there is another big benefit to a 2017 release:
“Launching Sniper Elite 4 in February gives us the opportunity to take a game that’s already received some of the best preview feedback we’ve ever had, and give it that extra bit of attention,” the Kingsley brothers affirmed, “We know a lot of you will be disappointed you won’t get to play Sniper Elite 4 this year, but we feel this decision will prove in the long run to be a win-win for both us and you, the fans.”
