Square Enix announces Hitman Absolution with teaser

Square Enix just announced and released the first teaser trailer for Hitman Absolution. Watch it below.

The clip is literally a tease, showing Agent 47 applying a suppressor as well as a snake wrapped around a gun. That’s it.

A more formal announcement is coming tomorrow morning, according to Square Enix.

The latest chapter in the Hitman series has been teased since last year, with IO saying last week that it had “incoming shrapnel,” for this week. This was it, obviously.

Blood Money was OK. But I liked the first and second games the best. I hope this turns out to be good.

You guys noticed at the end the barcode, with the red 47 in it? Also 110706 becomes red. Anything?

Codename 47 and Contracts are my favorite...this is definitely good news.

Agent 47 is preparing another hit, in a game that developer IO Interactive says will mark a new chapter in the series. Publisher SquareEnix has just released a teaser trailer, emphasis on the "teaser," which shows little but what we can assume is Agent 47 affixing a silencer to a pistol and a snake curling around a gun. The title of the game, Hitman Absolution, been floating around the Internet for a while, after reports of a trademark filing from SquareEnix surfaced and a teaser image (which appears in the trailer below) was used in a viral marketing campaign.

However, the accompanying press release seems to suggest that this will be a fundamentally different experience than previous games in the series.

Game director Tore Blystad is quoted as saying, “For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy. This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world.”

This is echoed later in the release, which states "Hitman Absolution combines much-loved classic gameplay with completely new features never seen before in the Hitman franchise."

The game is running on IO's proprietary Glacier 2 engine, and will be shown to the public at this year's E3 convention. Hitman Absolution will be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Excellent, can't wait - they were great games.

Is Glacier 2 what Blood Money used? Or was that 1.5?

All of the Hitman games have had negative reviews for graphics being behind the times. Didn't really bother me, I thought Blood Money looked pretty good, it would be nice to have a new engine.

I wonder what the new features will be?

BM looked fine for me. Between fine and very good actually.

I hope they get a better animation engine. BM animations were too robotic, and the environment too static.

Anyway, i'd buy it with bad animations/graphics anyway if they made even more awesome level design. lol

How awsome is that Western Diamondback rattler around the gun?!
Would be cool if you could put it under someones pillow to assasinate them
