"Agent 47 has suffered in his life. From his vile creation and eventual torture at the hands of Dr. Ort-Meyer to the emotional scarring that has come with some of his more personal contracts, Agent 47’s life is one of deep pain. The one constant that has held him together is Diana Burnwood – his handler. His voice in The Agency, Diana has served as guide, conscience, and contract delivery for 47 while remaining the closest thing that he has to a friend. In the most recent game, Hitman: Blood Money, Diana used her unparalleled access to the Agency to help 47 fake his death, and through her scheming, manages to save the Agency from its utter destruction. We open Hitman: Absolution with a shocking twist of fate – Diana has used her access to take down The Agency from the inside. She has deleted all information from their databases and has used this blind spot to mask her escape. The newly-reformed Agency has given Agent 47 the contract to kill her – a contract to kill his one and only friend – he must kill Diana Burnwood."
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.
