Sniper Elite 5: Not released on the Epic Games Store, developers not to blame
Sniper Elite 5 was quietly pulled from the Epic Games Store just before release. Pre-orders received mysterious refunds of the purchase price. Meanwhile, developer Rebellion explains that this happened due to circumstances beyond their control.
The Rebellion development team has apologized to its players who were hoping to purchase the recently released Sniper Elite 5 on the Epic Games Store. The stealth shooter was originally scheduled to release this week on the Epic Games Store alongside the other versions of the game. Sniper Elite 5 is currently available for Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam and Windows Store.
Sniper Elite 5 could even be pre-ordered on the Epic Games Store. However, shortly before release, it was pulled from the store and pre-orderers received mysterious refunds of the purchase price. “Due to circumstances beyond our control, Sniper Elite 5 was not available on the Epic Store at launch, but will be available on this platform in the future,” Rebellion told VGC. “We apologize for any inconvenience.”
Sniper Elite 5 is currently listed again in the Epic Games Store with the release date “Coming Soon”. “If you pre-ordered the game through Epic you should have received a refund – if not please get in touch here at Epic“, it says in one Explanation on the game’s support page. Just a few days ago, some Twitter users reported that they received a refund for the game even though they didn’t request it.
