Hitman Takes on the Saints in New E3 Trailer

Hitman Takes on the Saints in New E3 Trailer

No, not the ones from 3rd Street

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 30 May 12 at 15:36

A few days ago, IO Interactive teased a new image that contained silhouettes of femme fatales. The internet grew with rumors of multiplayer modes in Hitman: Absolution, but now we know what is really going on. In this new trailer, we see Agent 47 healing his wounds and hiding out in a motel. Unfortunately for him, his former employer wants him dead, and they send in the Saints. Who are the Saints? See for yourself.



This is just one of the many pre-E3 trailers that will be hitting this week. Thursday night, Spike TV will be holding their pre-E3 show with lots of new trailer reveals and discussions on the big games. Make sure to check in with us on TA as we bring all of that to you.

Hitman: Absolution debuts on November 20th.

My god. If only my Saints looked that good. Like the idea of different assassin bands tracking down Hitman. Sounds very Smokin' Aces.

Jesus christ what have they done to this franchise, Codename 47 takes on uzi-wielding nuns? It sounds like youtube parody stuff not what you expect from a Hitman game at all. I hope pandering to the Call of Duty generation makes them rethink the next game.

------------Blood Money SPOILERS ---------------

If they showed 47 rising from the grave in a massive shootout you would have been upset about that too and yet it happened in Blood Money which was a fantastic installment to the series.

-------------END SPOILERS-----------------------

They have promised that this game will include the stealth, costume changing, "accidental kills", and everything else we know and love. 47's awesomeness should remain in tact. Yes they have clearly added some new elements but is that really such a bad thing as long as the good ol' stuff fills the majority of the game? I'm fine with doing a typical stealth mission and then in between jobs I have to take on a boss like these Saints. Sounds pretty epic to me!
I aim to misbehave!

Ok games makers. Little hint. Including one racially diverse person in the middle of a bunch of white people doesn't make you not racist. It makes you MORE racist than if they were all white. We can all see through you, at some point in a meeting somewhere one of you said "better chuck in a black chick so people don't think we're racist". We're on to you.

I wasn't interested in this game before, but now I'm interested. This probably says more about me than it does about Hitman: Absolution though.
