Until now the details that had been revealed had been enough to simmer anticipation along, but we’re sure there will be much more to come. Today a new trailer has emerged titled ‘Run For Your Life.’

The video, which can be viewed below, is full of juicy content being 16 minutes long. It throws viewers straight into the action during a cut scene that finds Agent 47 in a threatening situation. He is being tracked down by the police and for some reason is unarmed; his only option is to take refuge in a nearby abandoned library. Check it out for yourself below to discover how he manages to get himself out of this compromising situation.

An article we brought our readers back in June revealed that a lot has changed in five years. The game will be set in Chicago and will be running IO Interactive’s Glacier 2 engine, which promises to offer real-time AI and authentic facial expressions. The hardcore fans of the Hitman franchise will also be excited to know that the developers have included a special hardcore mode that relies on players to use stealth more strictly in order to progress, as well have having a slimmer chance of survival when being shot at.

As Gaming Examiner explains there will also be a new feature known as Instinct mode. This function will allow Agent 47 to anticipate enemies’ patrols and actions and will also allow him to highlight enemies through walls. A new voice actor plays the part of 47 and the game’s amazing art direction and animation is sure to impress both fans of the game and new comers. Are you looking forward to the new Hitman game?

Although we have heard quite a few details regarding IO Interactive’s much-anticipated stealth-action game already, it’s always nice to hear more information.

We have some good news now for those of you that were waiting to hear a little more about the upcoming game, as according to Chris Carlson over on the ripten.com website, the latest issue of Edge Magazine has provided some new game details. Fans of the series may be disappointed to hear that Agent 47’s long time voice actor will not be returning for the HItman: Absolution game, and there’s been no word on a replacement.

However, they may be pleased to know that the game will be running IO Interactive’s proprietary Glacier 2 engine, which is said to offer amazing facial animations and realtime AI editing. The Hitman: Absolution game – which as previously mentioned will be partially set in Chicago – is said to feature an optional cover system that enables the use of cover mechanics without actually being in cover.

The Hitman: Absolution game will also feature a lot of environmental weapons that are unique to each location, including a lamp cord that can be used as a garrotte. Although players will again be able to take hostages in the new game, the AI is actually smarter and won’t just begin shooting at you now. The article also notes that levels have now been divided into checkpoints, which is a first for the Hitman series.

Many of the game’s levels will be just as large and open-ended as the levels found in previous titles, but others will be tighter, more focused sandboxes. Players will find a mix of levels with some being very story-driven, while the others are way more explorative. Gamers should also note that donning a disguise doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be able to fool everyone, or bluff their way past groups of NPC’s.

However, Instinct Mode does increase Agent 47’s disguise effectiveness. You can read more about the Hitman: Absolution game via the ripten.com link. Are you looking forward to playing the next installment in the hugely popular Hitman series?

In the meantime screenshots and trailers are sought after and sometimes leaked.

The last three weeks have provided members of the Hitman Forum website with a trail of clues that have led to the discovery of the first official screenshot of the anticipated Hitman 5. The Hitman ARG also revealed clues that we will be finding out more information about the game at this year’s E3 which will occur in the summer.

The clues that the users had to figure out were as follows. The first clue was found on 14th of February. It revealed an apparently accidental discovery on a film festival catalogue by Acid Burn. The next clue was found February 25th. It was a message responding to an information request that revealed a possible date, game scripts and an incomplete Toronto phone number.

The next two clues included images, the first discovered on the March 3rd revealed the same incomplete number, coordinates and artworks. The second clue revealed a barcode confirming E3 speculation.

To see more details about the clues read the full article at Save & Quit where you will find an enlarged image of the first screenshot as well as a link to the Hitman Forum. What do you think of the image? Are you looking forward to a new Hitman game? Let us know in the comments below.
