Meet Agent 47 in the Latest Hitman: Absolution Trailer

“We’ve put the sophisticated art of assassination at your fingertips. You play as the world’s most dangerous man, only known by his codename: Agent 47. He was made to do what he does and he does it expertly.”

Here’s a new trailer for Hitman: Absolution, introducing a man that should need no introduction. Showcasing a fair amount of gameplay footage, the trailer sees Agent 47 skillfully laying people to rest with a combination of traps, stealth and pure power, as is his particular wont. Frankly, we can’t bloody wait to get our hands on it.

Check out the trailer below. Hitman: Absolution is out later this year.

I am going to be waiting on this game! Looks freakin awesome!

Hitman: Absolution has a release date. The sneaky murder and baldness simulator hits stores on November 20th.

The news came as the game's mysterious countdown clock reached zero, revealing not only the release date but also confirming the Sniper Challenge outed on Tuesday. We already knew about it, of course, but now there's a new video to accompany it, so that's always nice. Plus, it takes the piss out of Assassin's Creed. Watch right until the end.

Sniper Challenge is a GameStop-"exclusive standalone pre-order sniper experience." What that means in English is that if you pre-order the game through GameStop from May 15th, you'll be able to access a standalone sniper game that you can play immediately. Succeed in-game and you'll unlock various in-game perks usable in Hitman: Absolution itself.
