Snipers who love watching their bullets tear through the enemy rejoice as Rebellion is committed to bringing you Sniper Elite 3 which has the subtitle Afrika. The team is talking about taking a more sandbox approach to gameplay and that’s a good thing as multiple paths to complete a mission will go a long way to please sniper fans. The game is still set in World War II but we’re hoping to see some long distance shots on the plains of Afrika with animals wandering about. There’s talk of next-gen which makes sense as Sniper Elite 3 is going to be a 2014 release but no word on specific console inclusions or exclusions.
