Hitman Absolution announced
The Fifth Game in the franchise will showcase new Glacier 2 Game Engine
IO Interactive A/S, part of Square Enix Europe, has officially announced Hitman Absolution, a new game in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.
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.”
Showcasing IO Interactive’s new proprietary Glacier 2 technology, the game has been built from the ground up. Promising a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and original game design, Hitman Absolution combines classic gameplay with completely new features never seen before in the Hitman franchise.
Scheduled for release in 2012, Hitman Absolution will be showcased by invitation only at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles from June 7-9.
