The latest trailer to date clarifies the context of this fifth canonical part, which will see the sniper Karl Fairburne trying to thwart a Nazi plot codenamed Operation Kraken. Set in 1944 France, this new episode promises the largest and most detailed maps in the series, with the use of photogrammetry to reproduce the environments. It is also a question of multiplying the points of infiltration and extraction and the number of targets to be killed, for objectives to be accomplished in solo or in cooperation – with sharing of objects and ammunition.
The game is also banking on its invasion mode to boost PvP interest, since like a Deathloop, it will be possible to invade another player’s countryside as an Axis sniper. . Conversely, Karl can call a second player for help to get out of a badly started situation. On the multiplayer side, the game plans to focus on gear customization to triumph in 16-player battles, with earning XP, medals, and ribbons to mark progress. A coop-oriented Survival mode can accommodate up to four players simultaneously.
Rebellion took the opportunity to detail the content of the Deluxe Edition, which will include not only content reserved for pre-orders but also the Season Pass.
