Hitman: Sniper is currently in development for smartphone and tablets, Square Enix Montréal has announced.
Sniper is a completely new Hitman game designed to bring out the competitiveness of players. The game will offer a series of scenario-driven contracts, each containing a number of targets and assignments. Replayability is key, so expect to keep going back in an effort to improve your high score.
“If you remember Hitman: Sniper Challenge, released by our friends at Io-Interactive ahead of the launch of Hitman Absolution, you’ll have a pretty good idea of the sort of action you can expect,” reads the blog announcement.
Hitman: Sniper will launch later this year and will be free to download with optional in-app purchases.
“For instance, you can get early access to contracts, or upgrade your sniper rifle – all things you can earn through playing the game,” explains Square Enix Montréal. “It’s up to you which one you choose and the game won’t force you down a particular route. By making Hitman: Sniper available for free, it will allow more people to have immediate access and increase the level of competition, which is at the core of the game.”
Check out Square Enix Presents on YouTube at 12:30PST next Wednesday, June 11, for more exclusive details on the game.
