Square Enix have lifted the lid on the oft-rumored Hitman: Absolution. In development at IO Interactive, the game will debut on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Hitman: Absolution follows cold-blooded assassin Agent 47, betrayed by those he once trusted and on the run from the police, he finds himself in the middle of a “dark conspiracy” and must set about a personal journey through a “corrupt and twisted world.”
“For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the HITMAN fantasy,” said Tore Blystad, game director, IO Interactive. “This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other HITMAN games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the HITMAN world.”
Absolution is powered by IO’s new Glacier 2 engine. It promises to boast a “cinematic story, distinctive art direction and highly original game design,” combining “classic gameplay with completely new features never seen before in the HITMAN franchise.”
No release date yet, but it’ll be at E3 next month. We’ll be sure to check it out. For now, check out the debut teaser below.
