If you were thinking of buying Hitman Absolution, you may feel the need to preorder the game first.
From May 15th if you preorder Hitman Absolution on the Xbox 360 & PS3, you will get a free game to play called Hitman: Sniper Challenge, playable immediately.
PC players will be able to download the game on the 1st August via Steam.
From a balcony overlooking a roof-top party, you are tasked with taking out Richard Strong, Jr., CEO of Stallion Armaments, along with his entire staff of bodyguards.
Skilled players will capitalize on score multipliers, discover secret extras, unlock equipment upgrades, and marvel at the many creative ways one can discretely dispose of a body while they work to fulfil their contract in the most efficient way possible.
““Agent 47 is the best in the business so it seemed appropriate to create the best pre-order reward possible for our fans,” said Jon Brooke, Brand Director of the Hitman Franchise.
“HITMAN: SNIPER CHALLENGE is a way of thanking customers and giving them a taste of Agent 47’s skills from the moment they pre-order the game.”
It isn’t connected to the main game, however, the high powered Kazo TRG sniper rifle and many more unlockable upgrades can be carried onto the game upon release.
Included in the package is an online leaderboard which will allow you to tally your sniping performance with other players, over various challenges.
Hitman Absolution is set for A global release November 20th 2012.
