HG writes: "Five years since the series' last outing, a lot has changed in the industry and the fear that the influence of modern gaming aesthetics might adversely affect the game are well placed. Judging by the demo I was allowed to see, however, Hitman Absolution looks to be the comeback tour we’ve been wanting for so long."
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.
Lets hope Hitman can return to greatness. I have very high hopes for this game. One of my all time favorite series.
Me too, agreed, can't wait.
My favorite too. The entire series was so original, the atmosphere very intense and unique. I also watched the movie and, while the movies is nothing even close to the game, it still is one of my favorites, because of the game.
I love hitman an would rather get this than AC for funner and tactical gameplay and smarter AI actually making it hard and stealth actually matters PLEASE DON'T DUMB IT DOWN!!!!!
