Similar to Sniper Elite 4, the game features several large levels, which provide players with various opportunities to infiltrate and extract. When the player kills an enemy using a sniper rifle from a long distance, the X-Ray kill cam system will activate, in which the game's camera follows the bullet from the sniper rifle to the target, and shows body parts, bones or internal body organs being broken or ruptured by the bullet. The game introduces Invasion mode, which allows a third player to join a game session and play as an enemy sniper. A survival mode, which accommodates up to four players, is also featured. In Sniper Elite 5, the player once again assumes control of Karl Fairburne, an elite sniper from the Allied Powers who journeys to France in 1944 to destroy a secret Nazi project known as "Project Kraken". In March 2019, series developer Rebellion Developments confirmed that they had started the development of Sniper Elite 5. The game was officially announced during The Game Awards 2021. Players who pre-ordered the game will gain access to an extra mission named "Target Fuhrer: Wolf Mountain" in which the player must infiltrate Hitler's private retreat in the Alps to eliminate him and his guards.
