Winston Churchill is still in need of saving and, once again, the only man that can save him from Axis assassination is sniper extraordinaire Karl Fairburne. The stage is now set for Part 2 of Sniper Elite 3's 'Save Churchill' DLC campaign to catch up to Microsoft consoles, with developer Rebellion also detailing some free multiplayer content set to come to all game owners a little later.

Save Churchill: Part 2 will take Fairburne to North Morocco, where a secret Nazi facility hides in the mountains. Before he can focus on protecting Churchill during the Casablanca conference, Fairburne must rescue Allied prisoners, while destroying the superweapons of German assassin Raubvogel.

Those looking to focus more on the multiplayer side of the game can find three new maps next week. Airstrip, Lost Valley, and Plantation will all make their debut, each featuring a different terrain. The multiplayer maps will drop alongside the premium Sniper Rifle Pack, Axis Weapons Pack, and Eastern Front Pack, which will all offer new weapons for both multiplayer and the campaign.

Save Churchill: Part 2 will hit the Xbox One version of Sniper Elite 3 next week for $7.99 or as part of the game's Season Pass, while Xbox 360 owners will get it Friday. The multiplayer maps will also come next week at no extra charge. The PS4, PS3, and PC versions of the DLC are available now.

Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
