The result is that only the Sniper Elite V2 had a revenue of 28 million euros, and Wii version has not even come out.
505 Games has just announced that Sniper Elite 3 exists, that they work on it, and it will came out in next year. It seems that this is yet another cross-gen title since it will be released for current and next generation consoles. 505's note specifies Sniper Elite 3 will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and "next-generation platforms". We assume this means PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox, and we expect it to launch on PC, too, although this version may be self-published as was the case with its predecessor. There's no mention of the Wii U..
Sniper Elite 3 contains a brand new story and atmospheric themes of the Second World War, and more focus on the sandbox-style sniper gameplay."
