Game director Tore Blystad is quoted as saying, “For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy. This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world.”

This is echoed later in the release, which states "Hitman Absolution combines much-loved classic gameplay with completely new features never seen before in the Hitman franchise."

The game is running on IO's proprietary Glacier 2 engine, and will be shown to the public at this year's E3 convention. Hitman Absolution will be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

How long has it been since the last one? I never got into the series,but I'll buy this one if it's done right.

5 years.

and I really expect it to be awesome. Since Square Enix took over Eidos, they bring out better games than ever before. (Exception being Kane & Lynch 2 :P)

Yes! one of my favorite series from last gen. 

I hope they don't make it easier this time around. Every level was like a puzzle with many ways to solve it. 

I really liked the first Hitman game, hopefully this one lives up to the promise.

man i cant wait, been waiting seems forever for this. loved the rest of the series

YES YES YES! 0_0 can't tell ya how long I have waited (5 years or so lol) for this..one of my all time fave series is coming back! I'm so happy

Never played Hitman before. Let's see what will this game offer.

There, I'm done.

I loved the Hitman games for PS2, I can't wait to play this in HD glory on my PS3 :D
