Sniper Elite 5 New Gameplay Trailer Is All About the Kill Cam

sniper elite 5 new gameplay trailer

One of the most memorable things about the Sniper Elite franchise is its use of that slo-mo kill cam, and in the new gameplay trailer for Sniper Elite 5 we get to see how this beloved feature makes its return for the launch on May 26! Check out the trailer below.

Besides the gameplay trailer, here are some details on the kill cam for Sniper Elite 5:

Enhancements have been made to both the physics and the visuals behind Sniper Elite 5’s Kill Cam. Bullets can now ricochet off bones causing even further internal devastation which is shown to the player in more detail thanks to enhancements in the visual representation of the characters including more definition of the skeleton, muscles, organs and sinew.

The inclusion of iron sights for both SMGs and pistols, a first for the series, will allow players to be more accurate with those weapons, which will, in turn, trigger a Kill Cam for the most clinical of shots. Players will also have control over the Kill Cam in real-time with the ability to speed up/slow down the cinematic, as well as being able to adjust the camera angle.

A favorite feature with fans of the franchise, the frequency with which a player sees Kill Cam, can be adjusted in the game’s menu, including the ability to turn it off completely.

Sniper Elite 5 is coming to consoles and PC this May 26. If you’re a big completionist, check out the full list of Trophies for the game here.
