LOCKED AND LOADED – SNIPER ELITE 5 OUT NOW

Features extensive campaign, co-op, Invasion Mode and adversarial multiplayer

Sniper Elite 5 Review

Sydney, Australia – 27^th May 2022:  Sniper Elite 5, the latest game in the award-winning franchise is available in-stores now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 4 & 5. Developed by Rebellion, one of the world’s most successful video games developers and publishers, Sniper Elite 5 offers an unparalleled tactical sniping experience as you fight your way across the most immersive maps ever featured in the series, with many real-world locations captured in stunning detail.

Check out gameplay here:

Sniper Elite 5 takes place in the events around D-Day in France, 1944, as our hero Karl Fairburne joins a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany. There he makes contact with French Resistance, and they begin to uncover a secret Nazi plot that threatens to turn the tide of the war back in the Nazi’s favour: Operation Kraken. It is now down to Karl to reveal exactly what the Axis forces are planning and end Operation Kraken, and the mastermind behind it, Abelard Möller, before it can be launched.

Rebellion CEO, Jason Kingsley said: “We are extremely proud to be releasing Sniper Elite 5 today and cannot wait for players to get their hands on the game. The franchise continues to go from strength to strength and the entire team at Rebellion has done a fantastic job to create the best game in the series to date. We are particularly proud of the new Invasion Mode which we think will be a real fan favourite. The tension and challenge that the invasion creates really intensifies and heightens the gameplay experience.”

SNIPER ELITE 5 GAME FEATURES:

Expansive Campaign – real-world locations have been captured using photogrammetry to recreate a living, immersive environment with multiple infiltration and extraction points. Side missions, hidden collectables and kill list targets provide a whole new perspective on each mission. Take on the Nazi plot solo or work with a partner, with improved co-op mechanics allowing you to share ammo and items, give orders and heal each other.

Invasion Mode and Co-op – invade another player’s Campaign as an Axis sniper and engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse, providing a new dimension to the challenge as you stalk your prey. Invasion Mode can be toggled on/off in the game menu. The entire campaign is also playable in 2 player online co-op with players able to share items and ammo and revive each other.

Weapon customisation – find Workbenches hidden in the missions (each mission has 3 to find) to customise and upgrade virtually every aspect of your weapon – change scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines and more. Rifles, secondaries and pistols all have a huge variety of options. On top of that you can select the ammo to suit your target, from armour-piercing right down to non-lethal.

Adversarial multiplayer – customise your character and loadout and earn XP, medals and ribbons as you take on intensely competitive 16 player battles that will really test your sharpshooting skills. If co-op’s more your style, you can team up with up to 3 other players against waves of enemies in Survival mode.

Full crossplay – crossplay enables you to seamlessly play co-op, Invasion Mode and adversarial multiplayer with other players on all other formats.

Enhanced Kill Cam – more realistic and grislier than ever, the trademark X-ray kill cam returns, showing you the true destructive power of each shot. Bones deflect bullets unpredictably, ripping a new path through enemy bodies. SMGs and pistols can also trigger kill cams, including multiple shots in dramatic slow motion. The frequency with which a player sees Kill Cam can be changed in the game menu, including the ability to switch it off entirely.

Advanced gunplay – factor in rifle stock and barrel options along with gravity, wind and heart rate while you line up your sights on the target. For the first time in the series iron sights have been included for SMGs and pistols.

New traversal mechanics – Karl can now use zip lines, slide down slopes and shimmy along ledges to reach the perfect vantage point, or to sneak past sharp-eyed enemies. Enhanced climbing abilities now allow you to explore hidden areas in the game map and unlock alternative routes.

Sniper Elite 5 is in-stores now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 4 & 5. To keep up to date with all the latest Sniper Elite 5 news please visit sniper.com

It’s Happening and Yogscast Games to serve up frenetic restaurant management game PlateUp! – a brilliant food-based action roguelite coming to PC this summer

Build and expand your own restaurant empire on your own or with friends in this chaotic cook-‘em-up due for release in time for tea

27^th May 2022

Solo developer It’s Happening and publisher Yogscast Games have today announced a partnership to bring unique restaurant management roguelite game PlateUp! to PC this Summer.

PlateUp! combines chaotic kitchen and restaurant management with strategic planning and development to serve up a delightful roguelite dish unlike any other. Up to four players build and run a restaurant from scratch, choosing dishes, buying and placing appliances – some of which can be daisy-chained together to create ambitious automatic kitchens – cooking food and serving customers. Players have free rein to design their restaurant which will expand and develop between shifts, with additional content and challenges unlocked through progression.

PlateUp!’s compelling roguelite structure ensures it’s equally fun in both single and co-op modes (locally or online) and, thanks to its randomised nature, no two runs will ever be the same. It has been a huge hit on both Twitch and YouTube, with many hundreds of thousands of hours of streams watched already – and this popularity looks set to skyrocket when it launches with deep Twitch integration, allowing live-streamers to welcome viewers into their restaurants. Additionally, those in Chat will be able to vote for in-game events, helping or hindering the players on stream – with lots more streaming integration planned.

The game has gathered a huge online community on Discord, with public playtests already proving enormously popular. The full release will build upon the promise shown so far and completely redefine cooking games, combining restaurant empire building alongside chaotic cooking and serving gameplay – delicious!

The publishing agreement will enable It’s Happening to expand on the game’s content, with Yogscast providing art, marketing and publishing support through launch and beyond.

“I’ve seen first-hand the impact that content creators make to the visibility of PlateUp!,” says Alastair Janse van Rensburg, It’s Happening, “so I am overjoyed to be working with Yogscast Games and the Yogscast network to bring PlateUp! through to launch. The game has been a true labour of love since I started it last year and being able to lean on their publishing and broadcasting expertise is a genuine thrill. I can’t wait to get the game into players’ hands this Summer.”

“Alastair is creating an extraordinary game,” adds Simon Byron, Director of Publishing, Yogscast Games. “It brings fresh innovation to the cooking game genre, offering a chaotic cooking and serving experience alongside roguelike and empire building elements. It’s as fun to watch as it is to play and therefore fits perfectly within the Yogscast Games portfolio. It’s already one of the top 1,000 most Wishlisted games on Steam – and I can’t wait to throw the full weight of our publishing and marketing expertise behind it in order to propel it to even greater success.”

PlateUp! will be launching on PC this summer. For more information, follow @YogscastGames on Twitter.
