The Sniper Elite 5 Invasion multiplayer mode was teased in a new cinematic trailer made by Rebellion’s own in-house VFX production company.
Invasion will work much like in the likes of Dark Souls, with a player able to enter the instance of another for the purposes of messing things up.
“A human controlled invader can act in ways that are so diverse and unpredictable, which adds to the challenge and ramps up the tension even further,” Rebellion’s Chris Kingsley said, explaining the mode. “The player will be informed that an invading Axis Sniper has joined their game and from that point on it becomes an extremely intense, high stakes game of cat and mouse.”
Kingsley also confirmed that those who don’t want to have a multiplayer experience can simply turn Invasion mode off.
“For those players who just want a solo gameplay experience there will be the option to switch Invasion Mode off, but we recommend that everyone gives it a try at some point,” he said. “We have been having a lot of fun with it in the studio, jumping into each other’s games and finding innovative, stealthy ways to take each other out.”
