Hitman: Absolution is a stealth game being developed by IO Interactive and published by Square Enix.It is the fifth entry in the Hitman game series, and will run on IO Interactive's proprietary Glacier 2 game engine. The developers have confirmed that Absolution will be aimed at a wider audience than earlier. It will be easier to play and more accessible, but still retain a very strong, hardcore side as well.It has been set for a November 20 2012 release.

Gameplay

It has been confirmed that the game will take place in the United States,[4] and will feature an online option.[5] In addition, the game will feature "instinct mode" which will allow 47 to predict enemy patrol routes, much like the 'sonar vision' that was featured in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction and "detective mode" in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Synopsis
Plot

The first in-depth trailer for the game shows Agent 47 storming a safehouse, and confronting Diana while she is showering. 47 is "betrayed by those he once trusted and now hunted by the police, he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for the truth". At least one portion of the game will be set in Chicago, and it has been confirmed that the rest of the game will take place within the United States. Hitman: Absolution is set at the end of the timeline. Confirmed plot details include series protagonist Agent 47 assassinating his former International Contract Agency handler Diana Burnwood early in the game[7] and the antagonist identified as Blake Dexter, a new character to the series. The character will be voiced by Keith Carradine.

Development

Though plans to continue the Hitman franchise were first announced in 2007, it was not until May 2009 that Eidos confirmed the game was in development.[14] Certain plot details for the game were rumored in 2009, stating that the game's story would lead Agent 47 to a low point from which he would have to rebuild himself.[15] On 20 April 2011, Square Enix filed the trademark for the name Hitman: Absolution in Europe, leading sites to speculate that it would be the name of the fifth Hitman game.[16] On 6 May 2011, a teaser trailer[17] was released, confirming the title: Hitman Absolution. The trailer briefly showed Agent 47 attaching a suppressor and a rattle snake coiled around his signature Silverballer pistol.

It has been reported the game will be a "familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games."[19] On 9 October 2011, a full gameplay trailer entitled "Run for Your Life" was released.[20]. Hitman: Absolution is a shooter/stealth game said the team on gametrailers.com.

Soundtrack

The original soundtrack for the game is composed by Peter Kyed and Peter Peter, replacing the game's previous composer, Jesper Kyd.

Marketing

Reception
Controversy

On 29 May 2012, a cinematic teaser trailer, produced by Square Enix's CGI studio Visual Works, titled "Attack of the Saints" was released.[26][27] The trailer's depiction of "gun-toting, PVC-clad nuns being killed in a hail of bullets" sparked outrage and controversy over the allegedly sexist portrayal of women.IO Interactive's Tore Blystad, the game's director, later apologized, stating they're "sorry that we offended people" and that it "was truly not the intention of the trailer."

Shortly after, there has also been controversy concerning the portrayal of women surrounding another Square Enix title Tomb Raider.
