Anyone can take out a target with a gun. Or a knife, or a baseball bat. But 47 is a true master of his craft, and in his hands, any and everything is a weapon, including a coffee mug, or a plunger. Check out the trailer below to see what other random odds and ends you can use to take out the targets in IO's newest Hitman: Absolution trailer, "Introducing the Tools of the Trade!"
Created entirely from original gameplay moments, the "Introducing" trailer is dedicated to show the richness, depth and possibilities surrounding the living and breathing world of Hitman: Absolution - powered by IO Interactive's new proprietary GLACIER 2TM technology.
In addition to the less "traditional" weaponry, 47's trade silverballers, and fiber wire make a welcome return, and players will also have access to an entire aresenal should they want to go after a target with all guns blazing. The mind boggling array of weaponry will no doubt come in handy against 47's newest opponent, Blake Dexter, whom IO calls calculating, ruthless, and maybe the most vicious adversary Agent 47 has faced yet.
Absolution features new game play mechanics like "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. There's also a new online mode called "Contracts," which allows gamers to create and share their own custom hit challenges within the game. Choose a level, targets, weapons and then set the rules for completing your contract as you play to create. Absolution will ship with many pre-set contracts, each designed by the very best assassins at IO Interactive.
Hitman: Absolution is set for release on November 20, 2012, for PS3, XBox 360, and Windows PC.
