Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne must fight alongside the brave men and women of the Italian Resistance to help free their country from the yoke of Fascism, and defeat a terrifying new threat with the potential to halt the Allied fightback in Europe before it’s even begun.

If his mission fails, there will be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe.

From sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal towns to colossal Nazi megastructures, daunting forests and giddying mountain monasteries inspired by Monte Cassino, Sniper Elite 4 will offer breathless emergent stealth action and unrivalled sniping freedom across maps many times the size of those seen in Sniper Elite 3.

Rebellion announced Sniper Elite: Resistance, a brand new comic based on the bestselling World War 2 series. 

Sniper Elite: Resistance is an adrenaline-fueled thrill-ride set during the darkest days of World War Two - a sure fire hit for gamers and comic book readers alike!

Sniper Elite: Resistance sees Allied hero and elite marksman Karl Fairburne parachute into the occupied French town of Angouleme in a bid to stop the shipment of a new German anti-aircraft weapon. However, he soon learns the situation is more complex and dangerous than he could ever have imagined.

Written by Keith Richardson and with art from Patrick Goddard, the high-octane, three-issue mini-series goes on sale August 29 ($3.99). The first issue will have two variant covers by Goddard and Sniper Elite game artist Edouard Groult.

Sniper Elite: Resistance will be available from all good comic book stores. For more details including how to order, please visit here.

Sniper Elite 4 features dedicated campaign, co-op and adversarial multiplayer modes.
