Hints of an upcoming announcement for Sniper Elite 4

LinkedIn profile outs yet another project, Rebellion responds.

After Knack II seemed to be outed by an Linkedin Profile, now there are hints regarding another game coming from the business network platform.

On the profile of Owen Shen, working for Chinese developer Adia Entertainment, you could find some details about what he's been working on. And next to games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Shards of War, there was also Sniper Elite 4.

The offending information has already been deleted, but Videogamer still managed to grab a screenshot as proof.

There are no further details. We don't know which platforms Sniper Elite 4 is in development for, what kind of game it will be (although on this front we can make an educated guess), and when it will be released.

We don't even know when the game will be formally announced, but Jason Kingsley, co-founder of Rebellion, confirmed over on the company's official blog that Rebellion is working on a new game and we will get new information before GDC, which takes place in San Francisco between March 14-16. Maybe it's Sniper Elite 4 that he's talking about.

"To be honest we're flattered that people are actively searching out for a new Sniper Elite title, and we certainly don't mind being mentioned next to projects like Black Ops 3 and Unreal! However the person in question doesn't work for Rebellion and we haven't announced a new entry in the Sniper Elite series.

Last year we celebrated the Sniper Elite series' 10th birthday and 10 millionth sale, so our IP is still hugely important to both Rebellion and independent UK games development. We're actually gearing up to announce a new Rebellion game soon, so expect to hear more from us before GDC!

In short? We can't confirm the unnannounced projects we're working on, but expect some news very soon!"

Currently Rebellion are preparing to launch the VR revival of Battlezone, and given the success of the series there's every reason to believe we'll see Sniper Elite 4 soon, but it's still unclear whether it's going to be the next announcement coming out of Rebellion.
