Agent 47 returns this month after a\u00a0lengthy\u00a0hiatus, and fans of virtual choking and body-dragging should prepare for the bald-headed, bar-coded assassin\u2019s biggest challenge yet.<\/p>\n

Backstabbed by his organisation and those he trusted, Agent 47 must go up against all odds to bring down those responsible for his betrayal.<\/p>\n

Smarter AI, gorgeous visuals, incredibly detailed environments and hundreds of ways to dispose of targets will give Hitman: Absolution more depth and variety than ever before.<\/p>\n

The untalkative assassin will return on 20 November 2012, so expect some sharp-dressing and silent violence heading into the holiday season.\u00a0 If you’re looking to pre-order the game, there’s a number of good deals on offer.<\/p>\n

Local Release Date: \u00a0<\/strong>Tuesday, 20 November 2012<\/p>\n

Following is a table of retailers and prices. \u00a0Feel free to use it as a guide when deciding which retailer to order from.<\/p>\n

The prices above are for the\u00a0Standard Edition<\/strong>\u00a0of the game. \u00a0If you have your heart set on either of the Professional Editions,\u00a0Kalahari seems to have the cheapest options for all 3 platforms<\/a>. \u00a0The “regular”\u00a0Profession Edition<\/strong>\u00a0will cost you R600 on consoles where as the\u00a0Deluxe Profession Edition<\/strong>\u00a0will set you back R1000. \u00a0For PC versions, the prices are R430 and R850 respectively.<\/p>\n
