Ontwikkelaar Rebellion kan met veel plezier melden dat Sniper Elite 4 in Q1 van het volgende jaar gaat komen, en wel op 14 februari 2017.

Jason en Chris Kingsley, co-founders van Rebellion, leggen hun beslissing om in februari te releasen uit:
“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!”

Dit betekent dat men nog even langer moet wachten tot de game uit is, maar het heeft ook zo zijn voordelen:

“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.”
