Eidos has announced that Hitman: Blood Money will feature an online ranking system, to identify the best hitman in the business.

The Hitman Online Ranking System (H.O.R.S.) will allow players to compare and compete against other Hitman: Blood Money players. Gamers will be ranked in a number of different levels, with all styles of play being assessed - be it silent assassin or all guns blazing. Some of the categories in which you can be rewarded are the Highest Paid, Most Wanted, Fastest, Most Accurate, Create the Most Accidents, and the outright best Hitman.

League tables will be viewable in the game and those that take part will be rewarded with a search for the world's best Hitman. This competition will only be available to console gamers and will begin once the game is released. The grand prize will be revealed nearer launch, which is currently scheduled for spring 2006.
