Square Enix has revealed the Hitman: Absolution Professional Edition SKU.
Extra goodies include a hardcover art book featuring a foreword by the game’s director Tore Blystad, a behind-the-scenes making-of video and a limited edition clamshell box.
It also includes some in-game extras – The Agency Jagd P22G pistol, the HX UMP SMG and SPS 12semi-automatic shotgun.
Developed by IO Interactive, Hitman: Absolution is the fifth game in the franchise that first arrived in the year 2000 with Hitman: Codename 47. The most recent release was 2006 title Blood Money.
The new game has been developed using IO’s proprietary engine Glacier 2.
"For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy," IO’s game director Tore Blystad previously stated.
"This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world."
