Right, they teased us with Hitman: Absolution teaser trailer, but that’s it. Now IO has come up front to talk a slight bit about the return of this popular game.

According to IO Interactive, the developer of Hitman: Absolution, the game has been built “from the ground up” in the new Glacier 2 engine, developed in-house by IO too. The game will see Agent 47 running from the law “on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world” that will “both a familiar and yet significantly different experience to any of the other Hitman games.”

Agent 47 has been betrayed by his most trusted allies (again), and must take on a new and dangerous contract to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy that surrounds him. IO says that Absolution will be “something our silent assassins will relish as well as those who are new to the Hitman world.”

Hitman Absolution is slated for release next year. That’s all folks.
