We've got our first confirmed Xbox Game Pass title for January 2025! Rebellion has announced today that Sniper Elite: Resistance will launch for Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One on January 30th, with pre-orders also beginning today.
This latest entry in the Sniper Elite series features a story that runs parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5, and sees you taking the role of Harry Hawker, agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). Everything you'd expect from a Sniper Elite title is here, including the ability to play solo or co-op, and there are cool new "Propaganda Missions" as well:
"The game offers unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and tactical third-person combat. Players can also expect huge agency on how to complete your mission, with optional kill List targets, multiple infiltration and extractions points, and side missions.
Sniper Elite Resistance also introduces Propaganda Missions, a brand-new style of side mission to the series. Locate a unique Propaganda poster in each of the main campaign’s levels to unlock a Propaganda Mission where you become a Resistance Fighter."
Obviously if you're an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you'll get access to Sniper Elite: Resistance on day one, but those who'd rather pre-order can get a bonus "Target Führer" campaign mission for free alongside another bunch of goodies, while the Deluxe Edition will include access to the Season Pass that arrives later in 2025.
We've got some brand-new screenshots to share of Sniper Elite: Resistance that we'll throw down below, and you can also check out the brand-new trailer up above. This is definitely a great way to kick off 2025 on Xbox Game Pass!
