Rebellion tells gamers NOT to buy Sniper Elite V2 this week

Independent UK developer Rebellion has given its social media followers a heads up to NOT buy its World War Two shooter, Sniper Elite V2 in the coming week.

The advice on artwork for the Sniper Elite and Rebellion Facebook pages show the series’ signature Eagle symbol with the tagline “Don’t buy V2 this week” while tweets and posts on the Sunday re-iterated the line:

"We'd advise against buying Sniper Elite V2 on Steam in the next few days, but we WOULD advise scoping out potential snipers to play with ... news soon."

On Friday Rebellion teased a ‘significant’ announcement for their Sniper Elite franchise, promising to extend the reach of the series to a new audience. They also confirmed that the news would not centre on the forthcoming Sniper Elite 3 due June 27th.
