Sniper Elite 3 has been confirmed as being in development by Rebellion and publisher 505 Games, with the WWII sniper game due to land sometime in 2014.
The game will continue the story of Sniper Elite V2's protagonist Karl Fairburne, and it's being developed for both current and next-gen consoles, as well as on PC.
There's not a lot of detail regarding the game and its setting yet, but the logo reveals a link to Africa, though how that will manifest itself in the game remains to be seen. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what Rebellion has in store for us.
"We're very excited to be working with 505 Games again on a sequel that will build on the highly successful Sniper Elite V2. We've got some great ideas to improve on what we did before and feedback from fans has been invaluable," said Rebellion's Jason Kingsley. "Sniper Elite V2 was just the beginning of what we want to do with the franchise, there are things we didn't have time to do before that we can really look at featuring this time."
Rebellion's CEO then added: "We want to focus on making this latest incarnation of Sniper Elite more of a sandbox game but also build on the awesome X-Ray Kill Cam and the atmospheric World War II setting. We're looking forward to seeing what Sniper Elite fans and gamers in general make of the latest chapter in the story."
