Rebellion is marking 20 years of Sniper Elite with a limited edition medal and pin badge set — and yes, it’s exactly the sort of thing long-time fans will immediately start justifying shelf space for.
The Oxford-based studio (currently preparing the new version of Speedball) has announced a run of just 250 medal sets, now available to pre-order worldwide via the Rebellion Shop. Each set features the official Sniper Elite 20th anniversary logo, an individually numbered plaque, and a series of pin badges representing achievements from across the franchise’s two-decade history.
It’s a small, physical celebration of a series that has done something quite rare: grow steadily, game by game, without ever feeling like it needed a full reinvention to survive.
There’s a jacket too!
Alongside the medal set, Rebellion has also opened pre-orders for a limited edition Sniper Elite Legacy Jacket, created in collaboration with London fashion house ARK/8. Limited to 500 units worldwide, the jacket blends modern streetwear with overt military styling, including epaulettes, engraved brass buttons and woven patches inspired by Sniper Elite iconography.
It’s a surprisingly natural fit. The series has always leaned heavily on its Second World War roots and attention to detail, and the jacket feels less like generic merch and more like a considered extension of that identity.
Rebellion is also expanding its anniversary line with additional Sniper Elite clothing and homeware, plus a selection of free digital wallpapers available directly from the studio. It’s all part of an ongoing celebration that began back in October, marking two decades since the original Sniper Elite first appeared.
Sniper Elite is still going
What makes this anniversary interesting isn’t just the merchandise, though. Sniper Elite is one of those series many people (me included) — probably unfairly — have written off more than once. And yet, it’s still here. Still growing. Still finding an audience.
With more than 50 million players worldwide, recent releases like Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Rebellion continuing to expand across games, film, TV and comics, the franchise feels more secure than ever — a slow-burn success story from one of Britain’s most quietly influential studios.
Pre-orders for the medal and pin badge set, Legacy Jacket, and other anniversary items are live now via the Rebellion Shop.
