E3 2015: 20 Jaw-Dropping Game Reveals You Need To Know About

20. Hitman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVqxMCZ3u6k Agent 47, where have you been? Necking some youth serum, by the looks of it - as the chome-domed assassin himself is looking a bit different from the one you might know and love. This newer, leaner and all-round more athletic-looking 47 is emblematic of the direction IO Interactive are taking the series for the next instalment; that being a streamlined experience including as little story as possible (fixing Absolution's problem) and presenting a Hitman in his prime as he tackles missions from all across the globe. They're expanding the custom mission design of Absolution though, allowing people to take on any number of community-designed missions, all whilst throwing in high-profile targets you'll get one chance to kill for specific rewards - a loss meaning they've gotten away for good. How it'll all come together is anybody's guess, but as the biggest complaint coming out of 2012's release centred on a lack of freedom when it came to your kills, answering that head-on with an arcade-style rollout of constantly-changing mission structures is perfect.
