Hitman: Absolution targets a release date and gets Sniper Challenge

10 May 2012

Square-Enix have finally slapped a date on Hitman: Absolution, a game for which the wait for is getting harder to bear with every trailer and screenshot released.

The untalkative assassin will return on November 20, 2012, so expect some sharp-dressing and silent violence heading into the holiday season.

Another big reveal is that players can get their hands on some Hitman action as soon as this month.

Hitman: Sniper Challenge is a pre-order bonus that gives gamers a standalone experience which revolves around assassinating enemies from afar using a high-powered sniper-rifle.

The game is an entirely separate story to that of Absolution, but will use the impressive Glacier 2 engine, which Agent 47’s new game will use later this year.

Pre-orders of Hitman: Absolution will grant you a download code, which then can be redeemed for Sniper Challenge from 15th May for Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network, 1st August for PC.
