Grizzled sniper Karl Fairburne is still battling his way alone through World War 2 and he\u2019s made it as far as Mussolini\u2019s Italy where the Nazis are welcomed guests. Spoiler: Karl doesn\u2019t feel quite the same way.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, the sharpshooting action\u00a0takes players to the Italian peninsula with levels significantly larger than the previous entry and the biggest for the series yet. Players\u00a0will explore coastal towns, Nazi megastructures, forests, and mountain monasteries. The new, larger levels lend themselves to more open-ended gameplay with plenty of different routes to victory.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sniper Elite 4 | 101 Gameplay Trailer | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xlxz5J1x7Fs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>For Honor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>14 February 2017\u00a0(Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Medieval warfare game For Honor sees players take on the role of a Viking, Samurai or Knight, with each faction offering its own unique abilities. Unusually, players use controller&#8217;s analogue sticks to control movements and actions in battle, demanding greater accuracy to be successful. There will be a full campaign mode for each faction (which can be played solo or in two-player co-op), as well as multiplayer (which will be a sure hit).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s something different, and a the meticulous detail that Ubisoft has paid to the combat system makes us extremely excited to see the gameplay depth the game has on offer. Ubisoft is also eyeing For Honor as its new big franchise, much like Tom Clancy&#8217;s or Assassin&#8217;s Creed, so it should deliver.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"For Honor  - War of the Factions Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UaBq0t5uAcQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>All game releases this week<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/75670-games-you-can-play-this-week-contract-killing-and-careless-carnage.html\/attachment\/pc-platform-tag-2#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-75676\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PC-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For Honor<br \/>\nSniper Elite 4<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For Honor<br \/>\nSniper Elite 4<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For Honor<br \/>\nSniper Elite 4<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Review originally published on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<a title=\"Permalink to How to use a PSVR headset with your gaming PC\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/115147-how-to-use-a-psvr-headset-with-your-gaming-pc.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">How to use a PSVR headset with your gaming PC<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two big titles arrive on the scene this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":115351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681,4],"tags":[20352,4552,4488,17446,733],"class_list":["post-115349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-for-honor","tag-game-releases","tag-sniper-elite","tag-sniper-elite-4","tag-ubisoft"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115349"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115353,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115349\/revisions\/115353"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
