Great news! For those who’ve played the Hitman series, after being absent for 5 years, the Hitman series is finally back! The new game, called Hitman: Absolution will bring back IO Interactive’s killer-for-hire to your PC screen, PS3, and Xbox.

IO Interactive makes the game official today, after a trademark filing outed the name of Hitman: Absolution late last month. According to the announcement, Absolution sees Agent 47 take on his most dangerous contract to date. He’ll travel a corrupt and twisted world in order to get to the bottom of a dark conspiracy. Sounds like par for the course, really.

“For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy,” said Tore Blystad, game director, IO Interactive. “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.”

Built using IO Interactive’s Glacier 2 proprietary game engine, players can expect a cinematic story, distinctive art direction, and an original game design that combines Hitman’s classic game mechanics with entirely new ones.
