Sniper Elite V2 Now Available

UPDATE: Thankfully, everything got sorted out with Sniper Elite V2, and we're happy to report that the game is now available.

--------------------------

ORIGINAL STORY: Sniper Elite V2 was set to release today, but it looks like the game has received a surprise delay.

We called a few Game Stop stores around the US, as well as a Best Buy here in Minnesota, and all are telling us that the game is not in stock. Game Stop said that the game has suddenly been set for a May 9 release in their computer systems. A delay this close to the game's actual release probably has more to do with a production or nationwide shipping error, rather than something being wrong with the content of the game.

We posted our review today, and liked the game quite a bit.

  • I have the power of a thousand suns!
  • It's still available on Steam. So.. yay.
  • That sucks. Even though I don't think the world needs another WWII game, this one is a blast, at least from what I've played of the demo. Love the slow motion kill cams.
  • Thats really weird....

  • Mod
    According to the official Twitter account, the dates GameStop and other retailers are mentioning are incorrect. Reportedly it will be available this week. In fact, GameStop's own site indicates release tomorrow. Here's hoping, as I'm anxious to put one in Hitler's noggin'!
  • That's a bit odd...
  • It is out on steam apparently.  So I would also guess a shipping problem, but wouldn't they then tell retailers to sell it as soon as it arrives?  

  • It's out on Steam, I'm playing right now.
  • Makes me think I won't be getting my, "two for one," testi-shot if I don't get a chance to impulse buy soon.

  • Yay Best Buy got props! :D

  • I saw the review and enjoyed the demo but did I read that the game will have no multiplayer?
  • NEIN! I WAS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE WHO SAY NEIN!
  • well. that sucks.

  • That sucks, but it's on Steam, so something somewhere must have gone wrong with the shipping.

  • Excuse me, but I was just playing my own copy of the game a few hours ago. Of course, it was from Steam, and they don't have to deal with such shipping issues.

  • Available on Steam phew... :)

  • that sucks for people who were looking forward to the game.

  • Wow, that's lame. Sucks to have to wait one more week :/
