Rebellion has announced that the next game in the Sniper Elite series, Sniper Elite: Resistance, will use Denuvo. Sniper Elite: Resistance is set to release on PC on January 30th, 2025. Moreover, we got some early minimum system requirements. So, let’s take a look at them.
The story of Sniper Elite: Resistance runs in parallel with Sniper Elite 5. In this game, you play as Harry Hawker. Harry is an agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). And, for the first time, Harry will take the lead as he uncovers a dangerous new “Wunderwaffe” weapon.
Sniper Elite: Resistance will keep its third-person perspective, and promises to stay faithful to the sniping, stealth and tactical mechanics of its predecessor.
To run it, PC gamers will at least need an Intel CPU Core i5-9400f or equivalent with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce 2060 GPU.
From what I know, Sniper Elite 5 still uses Denuvo. Let’s also not forget that this game came out in 2022. So, contrary to other devs, I’m almost certain that Rebellion does not have any plans to remove it from its Sniper Elite games. That’s a bummer but hey, it is what it is.
My guess is that Rebellion will reveal the final PC specs once we get closer to the game’s release. So, stay tuned for more.
Sniper Elite: Resistance Preliminary PC Requirements
Minimum:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10 or later
- Processor: Intel CPU Core i5-9400f or equivalent
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia 2060 6GB or equivalent
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 90 GB available space

Ah, yes. Continuing to fight that phantom "lost sales to piracy" boogeyman. Denuvo is there to protect against the phantom, at the cost of legitimate customers.
Well done, Rebellion. I can see you guys swimming in bank already, because Denuvo will make sure that all those people that were never gonna buy your game, still aren't gonna buy your game. 🍻
vote with 'your' wallet. also cope
They still don't have decent AA in their engine… sigh. And this game looks like yet more of the same.
cope
Those Sniper games became very boring, and every new entry is more lazy and looks more like a Expansion Pack.
why comment then. if it's not for you why get mad. groomer boi
Freedom of speech. Now get lost loser.
You clearly dont have any clue or what you are talking about. I have played all of their Sniper games, and the last 3 have been really good. The Zombie one has over 20 maps!!! each one take literally an hour to get through. the last Sniper game had 2 DLC and the main campaign, that took 20 plus hours too. Those maps took an hour each too. There was nothing cheaply don't about that last 3 games. your delusional!!
I will not be using Sniper Elite: Resistance.
using?… oof it's like you are seething while typing
can they make something original for once?ive played sniper elite 1, 2, 3 and 4 and i can say, enough sniper elite for a lifetime. these devs can easily make a different stealth focused IP. they must be burned out by now, no? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/001f77381c5b2ec495ed1afdbcefece96ed6b39fbf31cbc8c824b3e5949efced.gif edit: make something original that is of high double A quality that isn´t some indie spin off project that goes nowhere and has no sales?
Yeah, they're probably even gonna make Sniper Elite #1000.
This is exactly what happens when you are so creatively bankrupt and your only motivation in making games is for a business and not out of love and passion.
if you don't like it why voice your groomer opinions
You know they make other games, right?
since 2012 they have been doing the same IP. strange brigade was sh*t. so 12 years. long enough to count as doing the same.
The Zombie Army Games?
Battlezone?
Arca's Path VR
Evil Genius 2: World Domination?
Atomfall (unreleased)?
Seriously, they do other games.
Are there too many Sniper Elite games? Yes. But that doesn't mean it's all they do.
zombie army games ive played, basically sniper elite but zombie skinned. good because co-op but still the same IP just a spin off really.
Battlezone. yeah. you are right. not even wikipedia shows this unless you differentiate between rebellion developments and or rebellion UK coreteam in general. might be because no one gave a fck. but legit. but i mean, 372 reviews, 2017, biggest flop ever. no wonder no one can remember, but they tried. you are right.
VR is sorta disqualified, since its a seperate path next to non vr games. i love VR, but, well, does it keep em financially afloat and do people appreciate it? nah.
evil genius 2? yeah you got me. actual legit game worth noting. but nothing worth of an IP like sniper elite. unfortunately, more so a indie endeavor.
but yeah, if i say CORE rebellion team im right, but in general due to all the studios rebellion apparently has, they do have variety. it is just….. no one will notice or recognize.
i guess i gotta rewrite my original statement: doe rebellion ever produce another TRIPLE A or DOUBLE A game that isn´t sniper elite?
I remember AvP 1 being a very unique and successful movie IP for them until monolith took the license and made AvP 2. I bet they could do better than sega with the AvP reboot from 2009 (?). because they sure knew what they were doing. but all these years, people left.
i wonder, if the current rebellion staff can come together, consolidate and bring forth, a new IP that can be successful. Im actually astonished they are still alive. most would, with the sales they have, go under.
smart company.
The biggest failure of the battle-zones aren't the games really, their darn good if you both like to play an rts style and participate in the action too – The issue is rather how little they were marketed… ie poorly.

I stopped after 4 too, even if I thought that is was better than 3, enough is enough.
it's called Atomfall. keep up groomer boi
it's just another open world-sandbox-survival game
Yup! Very new and innovative.
$70 for wallhack and sh*t for brain AI, no thanks.
where do you child groomers pop out from
drop the expenses no body gonna pirate your boring game, maybe if you can persuade people with money they will consider playing it for an hour and half.
why you mad. I mean you could blame the algo but you are probably just upset you can't pirate it
denuvo doesn't affect PC performance. people hate Denuvo cause they won't be able to pirate the game. yet another amazing long 2014 symptom
SE1 is too old.
SE2 is the revamped formula, but it lacks the finesse of the later entries. A bit too jank.
SE3 and later are basically the modern formula. Played 3 and 4 back to back in co-op with a friend, it was great fun.
I'm waiting for SE5 Complete to not be 43€ after massive discounts still.
I don't understand how this company is able to be profitable continuing to use Denuvo, when they absolutely refuse to remove it from older games. Denuvo charges by the year and sometime by the license. So, I really don't know how they are able to keep paying the cost of that crappy DRM and still make a profit. And they have a lot of games with Denuvo still in them.
Can you imagine how degenerate and desperate one has to be to create an account named "denuvolivesrentfreeinyourhead" just to troll? 🤣
Anyway, I already skipped Sniper Elite 5, so I won't mind ignoring this one as well.
This is yet another franchise that has overstayed its welcome far too long.
When is it available on Xbox?
Rebellion can afford denuvo, yet can't pay to patch all the bugs.
