Sniper Elite V2 originally launched on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in 2012, but since then the series has gone from strength-to-strength with impressive sales, award nominations, a release on Wii U and even a cult spin off - Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army. The studio also recently revealed Sniper Elite 3 which is already well into development for current and next-generation consoles, as well as PC.

While Rebellion worked closely with publisher 505 Games on the retail console releases of Sniper Elite V2, they took advantage of self-publishing on the Playstation Network to allow console gamers to buy the game digitally on Sony’s platform - something that could be particularly crucial in some countries where it might be hard to find a retail edition of the game.

Sharp-eyed gamers will notice that the game arrived on PSN in the Americas a few months later than in Europe, a fact that the studio puts down to the minor teething problems of being recognised as a new publisher on the platform.
