Protection isn’t the first job you’d think of giving to a hired killer, not least the best assassin money can buy. But, when he knows a million and one ways to kill someone, there are few better qualified candidates than Agent 47.
This latest trailer for IO’s upcoming Hitman: Absolution is a cinematic affair, and reveals that 47 isn’t simply going to be on a blood-drenched killing spree once again, but instead, he’s killing for a reason, to protect his client. Just how many people you kill in the process of this aggressive protection is up to you.
The new game will feature a radically revamped control system, new stealth mechanics and much more fleshed out AI, making for a very different experience than the previous releases, at least, that’s what we’re told. We’ll have to wait a few weeks to find out if the long awaited return of Agent 47 is up to snuff.
Hitman: Absolution is due out on November 20 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
