Hitman: Absolution bliver ikke ligeså straffende og svært som de tidligere spil i serien, fortæller IO Interactive til Digital Trends. Snigmorder-spillet skal denne gang rette sig mod et bredere publikum:
"The Hitman games of the past have been very hardcore. Even though the fantasy of the Hitman universe has a very universal appeal, the games have been so difficult to play, that it's been more of an acquired taste", fortæller Tore Blystad fra IO Interactive.
Man har dog ingen planer om at skræmme seriens mest dedikerede fans væk, og for disse vil der stadig være masser af udfordringer:
"The biggest challenge that we had with this game was to make it much broader in every sense, so that it was easier to play and more accessible, but still retain a very strong, hardcore side as well. We don't want to alienate any of our fans who have been extremely loyal for so many years."
Hitman: Absolution udgives til PC, Playstation 3 og Xbox 360 i 2012.
