• Sniper Elite 5 to debut on iOS in Q1 2026
• Join Karl Fairburne in the 1944 D-Day invasion
• Employ authentic weapons and tools to eliminate enemy leaders and disrupt operations

The Sniper Elite franchise, a cornerstone of British developer Rebellion, is set to thrill fans again. OSS agent Karl Fairburne’s next mission lands on iOS in early 2026, bringing intense action to mobile players.

Though 2026 is still on the horizon, excitement is building for Fairburne’s Normandy campaign. Sniper Elite 5 shifts from Italy’s sunlit battlefields to the pivotal D-Day invasion in France, immersing players in a critical moment of World War II.

For those familiar with the series, the gameplay delivers the expected precision. Newcomers will step into the boots of an elite sniper, blending stealth and strategy to take down high-priority targets and sabotage enemy strongholds using period-accurate weapons and gadgets.

Sniper Elite 5 promises stunning visuals, a hallmark of the series, optimized for mobile. While Rebellion hasn’t emphasized Apple’s hardware, the game builds on the graphical leaps seen in Sniper Elite 4’s iOS release, leveraging advanced chip technology.

This release signals the growing presence of AAA titles on mobile platforms. Could this blur the lines between traditional and mobile gaming? Time will tell.
