You have 24 hours to get Sniper Elite V2 for free

For the next 24 hours, Rebellion's World War 2 shooter Sniper Elite V2 will be free to download on Steam. The better news is that once you're done playing, you don't even need to return it - it's yours, forever.

And why is Rebellion doing this? The company hopes that making V2 free will give newbies and those curious a chance to check out the series before the July 1 release of Sniper Elite 3. Well, that and because you're sooo good-lookin'.

"In the end, independent studios like Rebellion know that players are more important than money," said Rebellion Co-founder Jason Kingsley. "If you can delight them and build that word of mouth, that buzz about your game – it's worth everything. We want people to interact with our studio and our games for years, not just launch week."

The special promotion ends tomorrow at 1 p.m. EST / 10 a.m. Pacific.

The promotion lasts exactly 24 hours, ending Thursday June 5th at 10am PST / 6PM BST and Rebellion hope that it'll benefit Sniper Elite fans and those new to the series alike:

"V2's one of Rebellion's most successful ever games, but it's been out for over two years now. We think the loyal Sniper Elite community will welcome some fresh blood on the multiplayer servers, while new players will get to experience the things that make the series unique, and sharpen their skills before the release of Sniper Elite 3" explained Rebellion Co-founder and Creative Director, Jason Kingsley.

"In the end independent studios like Rebellion know that players are more important than money. If you can delight them and build that word of mouth, that buzz about your game – it's worth everything. We want people to interact with our studio and our games for years, not just launch week."
