The fifth entry in the Hitman series, Absolution, was unveiled at this year’s E3 and judging from the two minutes of gameplay footage , it seems like IO Interactive have done to Agent 47 what Ubisoft did to Sam Fisher. Transforming the patient, calculating silent assassin into a reckless man of action.

These changes can probably be put down to the fact that the original developers of the franchise departed the company in 2008. Presumably the prospect of making another Kane and Lynch game was the deciding factor. I don’t blame them.

In addition, David Bateson, the voice and face of 47, won’t be bringing his softly menacing performance to the role. Most disappointing, however, is the news that long-time series composer, Jesper Kyd, will also not be returning. In a series without much in the way of plot or characters, his music brought a hell of a lot gravitas to each hit.
