Sniper Elite is a tactical shooter video game series developed by Rebellion Developments. It is a third-person tactical shooter that emphasises a less direct approach to combat, encouraging the player as a sniper to use stealth and keep distance from enemy soldiers.

The games follow Karl Fairburne, a German-American Office of Strategic Services operative battling Axis forces during World War II. The series has been met with relatively positive reviews. More than 30 million Sniper Elite games have been sold.[1][2]
