Hitman: Contracts Coming Next Spring

Teased at E3 and officially announced today, the third game in Io Interactive's Hitman series is upon track for release next spring. Hitman: Contracts, as it's called, is coming from Eidos Interactive to PlayStation 2 Xbox and PC using an all-new engine to create the latest adventure of Agent 47

Along with the fresh graphics engine, Contracts is to feature improved third-person rule and an expanded selection of weapons, offering more ways to take without targets in a wider variety of international locations. that not players get too caught up in the sport and profit of contract killing, however, Io also promises a more contemplative story, looking at the psychological issue of Agent 47's grim occupation.

"Hitman: Contracts will reveal a fresh side to Hitman," said Io's Janos Flossner "The game will be epic, highly disturbing, on the other hand most importantly an enjoyable experience. The technology we are employing will make it single of the most advanced games upon the market."

After the succes of last year's Hitman 2 and the novel Freedom Fighters, we're inclined to take Io at their word, in the way that look forward to more Hitman novels after the new year.
