At this very moment, an army of hard-working team members are into the second day of presenting what is a true labor of love for IO Interactive – Hitman: Absolution. The knowledge that millions of fans have been waiting for news on Hitman is making the guys give it everything they have to present a game that we’re extremely proud of at IO. Lifting the veil on the development of a new game is always fun but given the connection between the studio and Hitman, this time it’s more exciting than ever.
And the debut trailer? Well, see for yourself. Agent 47, the world’s deadliest assassin, returns to take on his most dangerous contract ever. This time, he finds himself betrayed by the people he trusted and must use every skill and talent he has available to claw his way out of a dark conspiracy, which takes him through a corrupt world of twisted enemies. Thankfully, 47 is a resourceful individual and nothing will stand in his way for long.
When you’re creating a game with the scope of Hitman: Absolution, you don’t just have one finish line at the end of the race – you have lots. In fact, it can sometimes feel like you’re running a relay race all by yourself, constantly handing over and simultaneously receiving the baton to go another lap around the track. It’s exhausting, sure, but every time you complete a lap, a new surge of energy hits and you can run on that high for a long time.
Coming to E3 and delivering this debut trailer for Hitman: Absolution, as well as the presentations on the floor, has provided us with a massive boost of energy, which will come in handy for the next months as we push to make the game the absolutely best it can be. IO and Hitman are intertwined on an almost cellular level and with this game, we’re taking everything to the next level. We trust you will all enjoy the experience.
looks great when is the release date
Freaking awsome! So want this now ;-)
I’ve been waiting for this for a long (I really mean long :|) time.
I’m sooo getting it.
The trailer although CG was awesome, the screenshots look good and hitman is coming back, all great news :D
Looking forward to know more about the game, and hoping it retains the spirit of the old games :)
I need a change of underwear after that!
Is the shower a playable character? I kid, I kid. This looks awesome. I’ve been waiting for a new Hitman game for ages.
Loved the previous games in the series, and this one looks absolutely stunning :) can’t wait for this one…
Hello Nick, I was wondering would us the PlayStation 3 community ever see Hitman: Blood Money come on the PS3 console? It could be done but then again, Hitman: Blood Money was first on the Xbox: 360 and would probably be to much time-consuming to re-do and programme the game for PS3 platforms. I loved the game on Xbox:360 that game was AMAZING! I love the look of the new Hitman good job at Take-Two Interactive. Thanks! :D
For me Tenchu is a better Stealth Game and probably we will never see it on Playstation 3 ='( not even Tenchu1&2 PSone classics!This is my opinion don’t start saying that i am wrong n things like that -.- ANyway the trailer is really good…
Been waiting forever for Hitman, and so pleased to hear more about it at E3.
I’ve read all the previews and most say it’s not Hitman as it’s going an ‘action movie’ way, will Hitman still maintain the ‘art'(?) of killing and will it still be possible to complete missions with minimum casualties and being a Silent Assassin?
And finally as this is on the PSN Blog, go make a HD Collection of the Hitman series to tie in with Absolution? :D
Looks awesome!
Is it just a coincidence that the trailer is 1 minute and ’47’ seconds long. :)
Looking forward to it.
Would also love a Tenchu on the PS3, or even a continuation of Shinobido! Proper stealth.
i rule
#10 – yes, Hitman: Absolution will definitely still be focused on the Silent Assassin rating.
Regarding the HD stuff, we’re not currently planning it, to be honest, but a lot of people have been asking. Right now, it’s not going to happen.
Nick
I look forward to getting a Silent Assassin Platinum then :P.
And thanks for the info, guess I can hope it some day happens, really would love to play Blood Money again in HD, was the best fun I had on the PS2.
Ah finally its back, one of my favorite gaming series. Cant Wait.
Hitman Absoultion looks great and the new game features sound great, its good to see agent 47 after all these years
Just read about the Live E3 Demo and it sounds great, will the footage be released to us (it was said to be behind closed doors)?

sweeeet.
I love my PlayStation not going to lie but there something things that I think they should cover at E3 that they didn’t like cross game chat. The other thing PS3 dashboard I think its boring and dull when are we going to see something new. last thing 4 now is PS home when is it going to change from beta to a platform.
