History VideoGame / SniperElite5

* AdolfHitlarious: Once again, killing Hitler is a mission in this game. And much like in ''III'' and ''4'', there are some rather...creative ways to achieve this. These can be rather conventional methods like [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink poisoning his breakfast and drinks]] and [[CarFu having a truck slide off a slope and run him over]], to [[SomebodySetUpUsTheBomb rigging his stuff with time bombs or mines]] or even [[PineappleSurprise leaving him a primed stick grenade as a "gift"]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jeff Sullivan gives one to Karl, calling him a "dangerous, insubordinate gloryhound" who will get everyone else killed in his quest to win the war single-handedly.

** During intro cutscene the mission "Liberation", the transport planes and gliders are shown flying over dozens of ''Nelson''-class battleships, easily identifiable by their distinct three turrets forward of the aft placed superstructure. The British only ever constructed two ''Nelson''-class ships, the ''Nelson'' herself and the ''Rodney''.

New features include the ability to customize weapons, and a new campaign multiplayer mode, allowing players to call in others for assistance, or invade each others' campaigns as an enemy sniper.

* AntiVehicle: The Panzerfaust once again returns as a usable weapon as shown in the reveal trailer, being used by Karl against a Tiger II Heavy Tank.

* LaResistance: Members of the French Resistance are shown in the latest two trailers and promotional material, with one Marie Chevalier being of focus in the second "enemy intelligence intercepted" promo shots.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Marie Chevalier is this to [[VideoGame/SniperElite4 Sofia Di Rocco]]. Both are the female {{Rebel Leader}}s of their respective LaResistance factions, vehemently oppose the local Axis commander, initially distrust Fairburne, and ultimately help Karl kill the BigBad and stop their EvilPlan. But while Sofia is ultimately a FauxActionGirl who [[spoiler:gets most of her group killed including herself due to reckless and impulsive decision-making]], Marie is a genuine ActionGirl who competently leads her French Resistance cell while suffering fewer casualties [[spoiler:who survives unscathed alongside most of her resistance cell.]]

* WarComesHome: Operation ''Kraken'' [[spoiler:is a planned attack on the mainland United States East Coast, specifically Washington D.C., Boston, and New York. In addition to a series of V2 rocket strikes launched from Japanese I-400 class submarines, a huge number of English-speaking Nazi spies being transported via German U-boats will be deployed to cause chaos and wreak havoc on the US mainland.]]

* {{Interquel}}: Like ''VideoGame/SniperElite4'' before it, this game shows us what Karl Fairburne did after his missions in Italy and prior to his solo mission in Berlin.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Several Imperial Japanese Navy officers serve as antagonists and associates of Moller, with one Shinji Ishikawa serving as part of Karl's "Kill List". The Japanese themselves are busy fighting a way over in the Pacific and China-Burma-India Theaters, only agreeing to lend the Germans their newest and most advanced submarines due to Operation ''Kraken'' having the potential to bring the United States out of the war.]]

* StraightForTheCommander: In the reveal trailer, Karl mentions being tasked with killing several high-ranking German officers, all of them said to be involved with one Operation ''Kraken''. In-game, this is reflected in the "Kill List" objectives, where many of the targets that Karl has to kill are high-ranking officers part of or have some involvement in Operation ''Kraken''.
