Agent 47 is making his return in Hitman: Absolution the fifth instalment of the franchise. For anyone that doesn't know what absolution means, it's when you are forgiven for your sins normally carried out by a priest but not with handguns.....
Eidos and Square Enix have said there will be new features but still have the classic Hitman touch. When they say classic I hope they don't mean the dodgy AI from the last games? Hitman has been around a long time but still seems to lurk in the shadows like an assassin and never hitting the target. I must admit the screen shots do look sweet. Let's hope the game-play follows suit or we may have to forgive them for their sins.
