Agent 47 is back with a vengeance, although it’s taken him a six year hiatus to do that. This silent killing machine has been with us since 2000 and has given us a unique take on the stealth genre. Now, in Hitman: Absolution, he’s looking for a more personal endeavor to underpin his violence. This time Agent 47 uses both new and old tools to eliminate his targets, but do these tools turn Absolution into a grand return for this shadowy assassin, or should Agent 47 return to retirement?
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.
So excited for this game! I cannot wait.
