If you're a fan of Rebellion's acclaimed World War II sharpshooting series, you'll be thrilled to learn that Sniper Elite 4, one of the latest entries in the franchise, is now available for pre-order on iOS devices. If you're the proud owner of an iPhone 16, 15, or an iPad with the M1 chip or later, you might want to keep some of that holiday cash handy. The game is set to launch on January 25th.
For those new to the series, Sniper Elite places you in the role of elite sniper Karl Fairburne. Your missions range from assassinating Nazi top brass, sabotaging secret projects, to disrupting enemy operations. You'll have access to an arsenal of weapons, gadgets, and sniper rifles, along with the iconic X-ray kill cam, to execute your objectives with precision.
Sniper Elite 4 transports you to Italy, where Fairburne is tasked with thwarting another Nazi superweapon project. Thanks to impressive optimization like MetalFX Upscaling, the game features expansive open levels and missions. Additionally, cross-progression and universal purchase options mean you can enjoy Sniper Elite 4 on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Hit or Miss? Bringing Sniper Elite 4 to mobile is an ambitious move. Even though the game is a few years old, its graphical and technical prowess remains impressive. The detailed Italian landscapes, olive groves, and, of course, the visceral impact of your shots are a far cry from typical mobile games like Candy Crush. If Rebellion can successfully adapt this to iOS, it could mark a new era in mobile sharpshooting entertainment.
