Sniper Elite III Getting a Free Multiplayer Map and More Soon

Richard Walker

Sniper Elilte III is set to receive a bunch of new content this summer, starting with the free 'Lost Valley' multiplayer map, which will be the second of four planned free maps. That'll be followed up by a new Sniper Rifles Pack and the Summer of Sniper event, during which more content will launch.

The free Lost Valley map is described as "one of the most diverse maps ever made for the series", with "perilous vertical terrain and excavated ruins, to a sinkhole, open jungle and sea shallows". It includes secret routes, vantage points, loads of foliage for cover and an exposed mountain range where you can get a good view over the battlefield.

The Sniper Rifles Pack will include the Kar 98k , M1917 Enfield, and a specially tuned version of the Springfield rifle. Last but not least, the Summer of Sniper will bring with it the remaining two free multiplayer maps and more weapon packs, as well as the concluding two missions in the 'Save Churchill' DLC campaign, the first part of which still has yet to launch on consoles.

We'll have more on this upcoming DLC for Sniper Elite III once some solid dates and further details emerge for consoles.

  • I like the support the Sniper Elite games get. :)
  • Damn, so they are going to drop everything this summer? I thought they would spread it out to try and get people to keep the game.
  • Any news on a patch so I can actually play this game?
  • Could you please fix what's on the disc and the Dlc pack you already have out before adding more content which will likely be equally buggy.
  • The gameplay glitches are minimal. I've got 1 mission left and have had no significant problem. However, not having a progress bar for the various achievements is lame and I'm positive some of the cheevos are glitched. For example, I've definitely killed over 30 guys from snipers nests and I've definitely killed over 10 enemy snipers without being seen, and those haven't popped for me. Achievement glitches are what need patching.
  • While this free content is great. The game badly needed eds fixing. Freezing on boot up and on MP loading screen are common. Disappearing stats for single player and mp. Loads of achievements not unlocking. The game is a bit of a mess currently.
  • "Sniper Elilte III is set to receive a bunch of new content this summer, starting with the free 'Lost Valley' multiplayer map, which will be the second of four planned free maps." Uh, what? Second map? Where's the first of four? Did they patch it in the game or something? o.O I just want the new single player DLC, Steam got it two weeks ago and still nothing for us.
  • The only thing they don't have a count for is the weapon parts on each level. Why have a progress bar AND a count towards the achievements? If you got to the statistics stuff from the main menu, you can see how close you are to 90% of the achievements. The actual number is more useful to me than a progress bar any day. I haven't seen any catastrophic glitches. One time my save data got out of sync with the cloud. Did a hard reboot of the One, and the problem was solved. I'd rate that a Microsoft thing more than a Rebellion thing, though.
  • they are currently working on a patch: http://forum.sniperelite3.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4894#post25218
  • The 360 version is just broken to hell. Fuck rebellion all their games are a fucking mess. Cant believe there are trying to shove dlc in out faces when they released such a broken mess and haven't even fixed it yet. Its clear they are more interested in making more money with dlc from their customers than fixing the game. I personally find that a insult but its the current state of gaming, unfortunately
  • Hey #9 Kellwolf, I didn't say anything about a progress bar for collectables did I? I said a progress bar for killing 10 this, exploding 20 that, shooting 30 this. maybe you should read what I said.
  • Hmm, this game is fun, but multi player is a lag fest.
  • @2 Too late for that
  • well now I know the achievements are messed. Just beat the game. Found every single collectable. Didn't get cheevo for war dairies, playing cards or all optional objectives. Pretty certain I got screwed out of at least 5 achievements.
  • @15 it may not be the game that screwed you over it may xbox live, compare your achievements with a friend and you may find out that the achievements you think you got screwed over on say they are %100 but they just did not unlock for you which would make xbox live at fault. the reason im saying that is because i have achievements that say %100 complete but have not unlocked for CoD ghost
  • Is "more soon" gonna be a patch? I feel bad for you console guys who have to wait ages for MS' patching process.
  • Total waste of a game. All the collectible achievements didnt pop - got all the sniper nests yet it says on my tracker I have 22/32 instead of 22/22, similar for long shots and diaries. Without a patch soon I'm trading this in while its still worth more than £2.50
