Rebellion has just confirmed that today will mark the release of the demo for its upcoming Sniper Elite V2 shooter. A trial version will be out on the Xbox 360 all around the world, and on the PS3 in North America.

The original Sniper Elite wasn’t that big of a success, but it earned a loyal following that prompted developer Rebellion to make a sequel that’s set to appear at the beginning of next month.

Until then, the studio has confirmed that a special demo will come out later today on the Xbox 360 all around the world. PS3 owners in North America can also try out Sniper Elite V2 today, while those in Europe need to wait until tomorrow.

PC owners will also receive a demo but the release date hasn’t been determined just yet.

In the Sniper Elite V2 demo you’ll reprise your role as Karl Fairburne, an American OSS agent who now needs to make his way deep into German territory, evading enemies and taking out crucial targets like a true sniper.

The full version of Sniper Elite V2 is out on May 4 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
