Sniper Elite 3 release date announced

Plus another Hitler bonus mission offered as pre-order incentive.

Grizzly World War II stealth shooter Sniper Elite 3 has just been given a release date of June 27, when it'll launch on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC.

The setting of Sniper Elite 3 has shifted from Berlin (where the previous games in the series were set) to the sandy backdrop North Africa. Like its predecessor, SE3 will come with a pre-order bonus where players will get a chance to take a shot at Hitler himself, in the mission "Hunt the Grey Wolf". Here's the official blurb for the bonus mission:

Hitler, Allied code name "Grey Wolf", and his double have embarked upon a clandestine trip to the Libyan port town of Tobruk in 1942. In order to prepare for this mission, and that crucial final shot, OSS Agent Karl Fairburne must infiltrate the ancient streets and crumbling rooftops of the German-held town using stealth and distraction. Featuring an expansive open environment, and randomized target identities, journals and locations, no two playthroughs will be the same.

We recently sent Ingo to take a look at the game over at Rebellion's offices, and you can read his preview of the sniper title here.
