Sniper Elite 2 Announced

2012 is the general release date given by 505 Games and British developer Rebellion for Sniper Elite 2.

Sniper Elite, a third person World War II sniper game (surprise), came out in 2005 to generally good reviews.

For a quick refresher:

The game follows protagonist Karl Fairburne as he attempts to prevent the Soviet Union taking control of Germany’s nuclear secrets in and around Berlin, April 1945. Very little information is known about his background, other than he was raised in Berlin as the son of an U.S. ambassador to Germany before the war broke out, that he studied at West Point shortly after America’s entrance into the war, and the fact that he was chosen for this mission because the city was his childhood home.

There are several factions contending for supremacy in the city, including the German resistance, who wish to aid Karl, the Soviet NKVD, and the Nazi forces. Martin Bormann, an extremely powerful figure within the Third Reich, is one of Karl’s targets for assassination as he plans to meet up with an NKVD contact at the Brandenburg Gateto defect to the Soviet Union; the fate of the real Bormann was for a long time shrouded in mystery (turns out that he committed suicide during a breakout attempt). The rest of the characters (such as Dr. Max Lohmann, a key German scientist who Fairburne is assigned to help capture and escort out of Berlin to America in order to prevent him from falling into the hands of the NKVD) are fictional with exception of General Patton who has sent Fairburne on his mission.
