How would you like to see IO Interactive stay true to the spirit of Hitman but update it for todayвЂ™s gamer? Does sandbox gameplay define this series?

ThereвЂ™s still a lot more left to be written about Hitman: Absolution including how this town of Hope will incorporate traditional Hitman gameplay elements into this new iteration, but as of right now it looks quite impressive, and definitely sits as one of our most anticipated for 2012. And might we also mention that this game looks absolutely stunning, highlighted by its ability to capture detail amidst a dark and gloomy atmosphere. What is great to see is just how diverse the methods of disposal players will have at theirвЂ¦disposal - from the axe to the syringe to the more common pistol.

Whether this means that Hope will be a traditionally sandbox section, or if it is indicative of the final product as a whole, isnвЂ™t clear, but there is obviously some stuff that IO wants to show that will make Hitman fans very happy. Obviously that's something we're going to show at some point.' As we hint though, at the end Hitman is travelling to a town called Hope. We're showing a bit of the game at a time.

Hitman has largely been a franchise where decision-making plays an important role in how the player, as Agent 47, takes out their target. One of the biggest questions that has been looming in the back of gamersвЂ™ minds since the big reveal of Hitman: Absolution is just how true this next iteration will be to the seriesвЂ™ roots. At this yearвЂ™s event, Hitman: Absolution once again came out from the shadows to show attendees and gamers alike what Square Enix and IO Interactive are cooking up.
