Hitman: Absolution

Hitman: Absolution Trailer Tease Features Slinky, Shadowy Ladies

Ahead of a new Hitman: Absolution video scheduled for 1PM BST tomorrow, Square Enix has circulated an odd teaser image for the forthcoming release of said E3 2012 trailer, although quite what it's hinting at is anyone's guess.

Featuring a line-up of eight female silhouettes sporting various weaponry, from sniper rifles to pistols and even a rocket launcher, the teaser image is certainly intriguing. Could it be the all-female assassin cast for a new multiplayer mode or could it be something else entirely? Perhaps Agent 47's school for lady assassins?

Either way, the big word in the background says it all. It's just a great big "tease" for now. All will be revealed when the trailer goes live tomorrow. Be here then at 1PM BST for the big reveal. Hitman: Absolution is out on November 20th, 2012.

See, this just looks like it's going to be Assassin's Creed style multiplayer revealed tomorrow.

Not happy.
and I gotta say, I'll be cancelling my pre-order if they bastardise this franchise with MP

I could handle co-op. I can see a well executed co-op mode being awesome. But #1 hit the nail on the head, if this is an Assassins Creed style MP, then they should have just left 47 lying on the slab at the end of Blood Money.

Honestly when I saw the image I immediately thought about multiplayer as well. I hope I'm wrong...

I am hopeing that it won't be multiplayer, but of course like most games now adays have multiplayer. This will be a big letdown for me if it ends up having multiplayer.

I am so looking foward to this... please don't screw the absolute assasin with the online.. there is enough online games already! I swear, if they put this game with a multiplayer (like they did with RE5) I'll simply wont buy it. Btw I really don't see how they can imagine a multiplayer mode for this type of game..

MP could be a fantastic addition if they do it right.

MP was pretty much teased last year when IO did an interview with Eurogamer, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is indeed a MP mode (hopefully co-op, no versus MP bullcrap).

yea MP would be sweet if it was done right but my only issue is that'll they'll be spending their development time creating it, and the story may feel uncomplete because of it, and seeing as fans would prefere a 100% focus on the campaign compared to them including MP when they could of extended the campaign length in the time makes me sceptical :/

I wouldn't mind versus multiplayer if they tried to do something new with it and it doesn't take anything away from the Campaign! What i would do is i would have two teams of four players all trying to kill an AI target! First to kill the target wins the round! If you get seen your out of the round! If you see someone from the other team you can take them out silently!

Well, they already have the campaign planned out, so they won't be cutting parts of it to invest on multiplayer...
You guys have to realize that they have different developing teams working on both parts of the game, they have a team designed to make the single player campaign and a team designed to make multiplayer. The people working on the story aren't gonna be working on the campaign one day and then on the other they'll have to stop making the campaign and focus on multiplayer. The work is distributed through various different teams.

Co-op, yes. Versus, no. Mind you if the SP is great, replay-worthy and long, etc, I won't need to worry about touching the MP (especially if it's shit).

If they add MP like they did with AC there going to ruin the franchise! I hate it when they do that! Some franchises are meant to stay SP!

If this is MP, I'm sure it will be just as bad as that on Assassin's Creed. Here's an idea devs, focus on the fucking campaign and stop tacking on multiplayers!

If you like a game, but it has multiplayer, and you don't like multiplayer, buy the game, but don't play the muliplayer.

@16 The reason people don't want Multiplayer is because Multiplayer = less time spend on developping the Single Player. Which lead to a shorter Story mode, more bugs/glitches, less polish.

I guess you didn't have the common sense to figure this out.

@17: Only that most big studios outsource the MP part so it won't interfere with the SP-development.
Blaming shorter and buggier games on MP is a little narrow minded IMO. There are a lot of games with a good to decent SP and MP.
I like how everybody screams "no tacked on MP, you'll ruining it" and mentioned AC but is obliviously totally fine with ME3's MP (which btw seems pretty well acclaimed).
