Game developers of "Sniper Elite 4" confirmed that the game will not meet its 2016 target release date, but instead, moved to a January 2017 release. However, Rebellion reassured fans that this may give them opportunity to further enhance the features of the game.
In a joint explanation released by Rebellion co-founders Jason and Chris Kingsley, right after the news of its delay broke, they said that, "When we revealed Sniper Elite 4 back in March our plan was to release it at the end of 2016. However, we now know Battlezone will release in October as a launch title alongside PlayStation VR. That gave us a tough decision to make. Ultimately, we're a relatively small independent studio, and releasing two major titles in the same quarter didn't seem like a sensible thing to do."
One avid fan reported that "Sniper Elite 4" release delay was a business ploy. But whatever the reason is, many decided to focus on the brighter side, affirming to the statement of the brothers themselves that "launching Sniper Elite 4 in February gives us the opportunity to take a game that's already received some of the best preview feedback we've ever had, and give it that extra bit of attention."
"Sniper Elite" has been one of the most highly anticipated and well-played game. Thus, included in the things to look forward to in "Sniper Elite 4" are grander multiplayer scope and better single player artificial intelligence. "Sniper Elite 4" is set in Italy, at the heights of World War II, with agent Karl Fairburne in a mission to save citizens from Fascism complemented with Italian countryside, tanks, and soldiers to complete sniping.
Rebellion has also released the official trailer of "Sniper Elite 4" to reassure gamers, and they are even welcoming those who would like to contribute to the changes in the game to comment and express their opinions. After positive feedbacks flooded the said trailer, a lot of gamers expressed their confidence that it will be worth the wait.
