”It’s very exciting to be working with one of the new breed of major publishers like 505 Games,” said Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion. ”Sniper Elite was an important, genre-defining property and we’re hoping to have even greater success by teaming up with the talented guys at 505.”
”It’s fantastic for us to be involved in the world of Sniper Elite again,” Chris Kingsley, CTO of Rebellion, added. ”We look forward to winning even more awards with Sniper Elite V2 and wowing the consumers with what will be a great game.”
”We’re very excited to be working with Rebellion on this highly anticipated sequel. Sniper Elite has always been the benchmark of the genre and never been bested….until now,” said Ian Howe, Managing Director of 505 Games. ”We guarantee that the sequel will be the most authentic WW2 sniping experience ever – not just in terms of weapon ballistics, but also in delivering the heart-pulsing tension of those do or die moments where one shot really does matter.”
