Rebellion Developments’ World War II stealth shooter Sniper Elite V2 will be free on Steam until 6pm today. Not just as a demo, but the whole game will be yours forever if you download it before then.
The news comes in the wake of the game’s successor (Sniper Elite 3, if you didn’t guess that), as the company seems to be promoting the franchise. On the Steam page for SEV2 there is a link to pre-order Super Sniper Elite 3, the deluxe version of the latest instalment, for the discounted price of £31.99.
Jason Kingsley, co-founder and director of Rebellion Developments, is extremely enthusiastic about the franchise, specifically SEV2, but added that “it’s been out for over two years now.” On the decision to make the game free for today, he added, “We think the loyal Sniper Elite community will welcome some fresh blood on the multiplayer servers, while new players will get to experience the things that make the series unique, and sharpen their skills before the release of Sniper Elite 3.”

Super Sniper Elite 3 and the standard package will be released on 27th June for PC, and 1st July for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
