IO Interactive, a part of Square Enix Europe, is pleased to announce Hitman Absolution, a new game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC. A specific release date has not been announced, but the game will be released in 2012. It will also be displayed at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles.
Hitman Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold-blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he once trusted — and now hunted by the police — he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on 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.”
