Being competitive in multiplayer shouldn't just be regulated to taking on others in direct versus match-ups. Sure, it's a lot more fun, but some of us just don't have the time to wait around for others to match up against, or want to compete on our own schedule, then go back and see how others compare. In this regard, leaderboards are the next best thing to online play -- and Hitman: Absolution has it in spades with its new Contracts mode. During a private event this past week at Penny Arcade Expo Prime in Seattle, Washington, Square Enix invited us down to take the new mode for a test drive.
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
